Exporting Form:

I got Office 2002 pro and Access 2003. Is there a way to do it through those?
I do not really need to import it. I just need to be able to create a form (with any program) and be able to get it back with the info the person put in it still there. I like the way you can make the access forms, that is what I would like mine to look like.

unfortunately there isn't really a way to do what you are asking for then via Access 2003. With the new A2K7 and Outlook 2K7 it has the ability to send a form (not formatted real pretty though) to accept input and then when they return it the data is automatically entered into the database.
As for sending a form to fill in the data, if you want it pretty then I think you may want to just use Excel or Word to create something to send out. Because a form can't be sent to email with the ability to fill in.

I tried Word but the problem was the user could hit the enter key and it would mess up the form (by making everything shift) I put a macro in that made the enter key work like a tab button. But other people could not open it because I did not have a signature to sign the document with to say it did not contain a virus from the macro. Do you know if there is a way to make the enter key stop messing up the word form?

You need to create a FORM from Word and not just leave it unprotected. There is a special way of doing that. Check this link below for good instructions on how to do that:
