Default Creating fields in a document that can be imported by Excel

I'm glad the board stresses that a long title is preferred as I was anguishing over how to say that...

I have a document that I created some time ago and I used after-line spacing to make it appear correctly, expecting it to simply be printed out and filled in on paper.

Now they want it to be able to be filled in on a computer. Further, they want it to be able to be able to have it's fill-in fields - exportable into / importable by - Excel. Because of the way I created the spacing I believe I almost have to treat the "form" as a graphic and overlay fields or textboxes. Either that or re-create the dang form, which I would rather avoid.

Can anyone steer me to an example of how best to accomplish this? I am fairly good with Excel and write VBA, but when it comes to Word I am fairly lame!

Thank-you-
