I think that this is the only other thing with which I am having issues. Again, might be easy as pie for someone with a clue, so I am hoping you can suggest a quick fix.
I want to set up a basic couple of Form templates, where with minor edits I can use it again and again (just saved-as and uploaded-as another page-name), since these will remain largely consistent with minor edits from usage to usage.
For example, instead of saying "Dinner at $55 per person" next to a checkbox, I can change it to "Dinner at $75 per person" OR even delete that line and/or add another.
AND I need to have the template(s) set up so the collected data gets sent to a basic email address, which I can change on a form-by-form basis, so the data for the Event "A" form goes to me, while the data for Event "B" goes to my assistant and so on.
I've tried wizards and all manner of other attempts and somehow in spite of literally spending hours on this (time which I do not have), either it comes out looking so bad it's useless, or the data never transmits. Each form may collect a Large amount of data, a lot of fields/checkboxes, as I am doing set-ups for events and need to collect not just name/address info, but also ticket-levels, activity choices, rooming and/or meal issues and so on. I have a basic set-up of what I'd *like,* it's just getting it to work that's killing me.
Once again, I use Word, and have for years with great success in everything except this -- so I would appreciate tips in that environment or other useful/practical info (pls don't post just to tell me Word stinks, I've heard that already -- but if you have a quick and free alternative that I can learn in like 10min, let me know).
Help! And thanks!
