Forms for daily journal

I supervise more than 10 people & the work they do has short term
deadlines. Each day, I have them create a daily log in a calendar that I
created in a public folder. Right now, they simple double click on the date
and an event form pops up. They enter their name as the title and set a few
more odds & ends, and enter their daily stuff, item by item.
Each day, I review what they have entered so I can keep in touch with where
they are in their work, and still have time to do my own work.

I have created a word document that has an outline I'd like them to follow;
the outline makes it possible for me to find & read the info I need on
their work, and it helps to organize their thoughts so they remember what
to enter in the daily log.

How do I make this Word.doc an Outloook form?

Obviously, no experience with forms in Outlook.
Thank you in advance for any and all help.
I am not the MS Exchange Admin.

Did you try copying and pasting from the Word doc into the body of an
appointment item? You could then publish that as a form to the folder and
make it the folder's default form.
