This wikiHow will teach you how to create a questionnaire in Word on Windows and Mac computers. You cannot create forms that others can fill out using the web version, but you can create check boxes, text controls, date pickers, and drop-down lists from a computer.
Method 1 of 2:
Create a new document or choose a template. Go to File > New and, if you want a template, search "Forms" in the "Search online templates" text field.

Create a new document or choose a template. Go to File > New or New from Template and search "Forms" for the questionnaire template you want to use.
Add content controls to your form. From the Developer tab, you'll be able to insert text boxes, check boxes, and combo boxes. Repeat this step to add as many content controls as you need to.
Change or set the options for each content control. Click to select a content control, then select Options to be able to set them. You can set common properties like Add Help Text to give hints at each field or set specific properties, like Drop-down enabled to let the user make selections from the menu.
