Paper/MS Word based forms?

[carents]

Hi

Do any of you still use paper/ms word based forms? If yes, then why? What made you stop going towards online forms like SurveyMonkey, JotForms etc.?

Thanks

Because sometimes a bit of paper is more suited to the task.

Imagine a local show and you are collecting names and emails for a prize draw. Paper forms are quicker and easier.

That applies for a special situation. What about day-to-day basis?

Two of my clients who sell to end users still maintain stock of printed forms - Believe it or not, there are still reasonable numbers out there who are either not computer literate, or sufficiently suspicious of new technology that they will not fill out online forms.

Our butcher has this order form where you tick what you want next week and enter the date you want to pick up.

You asked about form builders in particular. Most forms connect to a CRM or some other processing application which requires bespoke coding. Jot forms aren’t going be much use if you are apllying for a loan or joining an organisation.

True. Whatever solution, it needs to talk to existing systems (be a database, CRM etc)
