    Default Submit/Upload word document using a form

    Greetings,
    Can anyone help enlighten me as to how to create a form that would allow the user to upload a word document in addition to filling out the form? I have questions I want the user to answer but also want them to attach a word document when they submit the information. I can create a simple form with no problems, but adding something like this is a bit out of my realm. Consider me a novice when responding. Thank you.

    This is a bad idea. The Word format is proprietary, so you can't expect the user to be able to either read or write them. I suggest you ask for ASCII format, or possibly HTML; Microsoft Word (and all good word-processing suites) can export as either.
