Hello -

I'm new to Word forms, so I don't even know if this is possible.

Can I take an .eps form and use it in word as a basis of a form that a user
could fill out?

I can import the .eps into word, but I can't draw form fields over top of
it. I tried using the .eps as a background, but it looks really rotten.

Any help would be appreciated.

An EPS printed to a PostScript printer, it will look okay, but it will
always look bad on screen. But in any case, even if it looked good, I would
not suggest drawing fields on top, because such objects tend to shift around
the page a bit, even when you lock them down.

If you have Acrobat, you could make a PDF form. But (there is always a but),
Acrobat Reader (the free one, called Adobe Reader in V6) can't save a form
with the data. You can print it or submit it to the Web, but you can't save
it.
