help creating a form

I know html and I work with cs3. I am just learning php and I think I understand its basic syntax. I work for a public school without a programming department. We have a website that is hosted offsite and we have no admin rights to the server. I can upload files to the server through the ftp in CS3 but that is the extent of the rights I have. I cannot get to the root of the server, just the folder designated for my school.The server is Windows based and has php and sql capabilities. Our server admin can create tables for us but he is very slow about producing what we want. Given my limitations, what is the best and simplest method to create a way for non-technical users to copy Word document tables into a form, submit the form and have the content be displayed onto a page of our website with the tabular data intact?

Thanks

Have you started with some code? If so, show us that. I don't know if you can have somewhere to (if I understand correctly) paste a table from word and have it converted to html. I am pretty sure you can't, but tables are pretty easy, so I'm sure we can sort out something.

Give us the code you have and we'll go from there ;)

Also use the correct tags when posting - there are a few types (code, html, php) and are buttons just above your compose msg window in the same line as Bold, Italics, Underline etc...

I really don't have any code, I have created an html document like this

[HTML]
<body>
<form id="scholbulletin" name="schbulletin" method="post" action="process.php">
<label>Paste information here
<textarea name="bulletin" id="textarea" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea>
</label>
<p>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
</label>
</p>
</form>
</body>
[/HTML]
[PHP]<?php echo $bulletin; ?>[/PHP]

Like I said I am real new to php and I have limited access to the server. I want to recreate a table with col headings Scholarship Programs, Eligibility, Due Dates, and Award Amounts. We have a secretary that types this up once a month then I would convert it to a pdf and publish it as a static web page. I would like her to type it up once and submit it to the web page in a more dynamic fashion.
Any direction you can give me would be terrific.
