I don't even know if this is possible, let alone if Word is the best way to
go about it.

I was just asked to help find a program that we could use to randomly test
employees at one of our client firms. We need to be able to enter employee
names (into an array, I guess?) and then have the computer randomly spit out
a # of them that we tell it to, I.E. we input 30 names and tell it to
randomly give us 5.

The basic form set up, I THINK I can do. Randomizing, however is entirely
new to me, but again, not sure if Visual Basic/Word is even the best way to
go about something like this, but I haven't been able to find any software
online that will do it, either.
