I made a form in Infopath and I need to distribute these forms to
computer-illiterate people who do not have Infopath. I need a way to export
my form into a program where I can send it by email (no sharepoint) I believe
I would need to make a ASP.NET version, but this is beyond me. How can I
make a copy of an Infopath form (in Word, Excel, web, etc) that can be filled
out? (I do not need to export the data)

You can access your infopath forms from Web browser using InfoPathDev Forms
Viewer. you can find the details at the link below

InfoPath is a thick client application, intended to be used by people
who have the InfoPath client installed. It's just like users being
required to have other office applications in order to be able to open
their respective file types. There are workarounds, such as the
InfoPathDev forms viewer, but they are very limited in functionality
from what I've seen. If your users don't have infopath, i would
consider another solution. just my opinion
