Creating a Survey

I have some experience using Access, but I've been asked to tackle a new problem, and I'm lost. My church is creating a survey to assess priorities and preferences in preparation to search for a new minister. We will be creating the survey in Word (mostly check boxes, i.e., 4 levels of how important is this item to you, or which of these items are important) and mailing out paper copies. I need help to set up a database to tally the results of the survey, so I can then tabulate totals and averages. Is Access the best way to go, or Excel, or a combination? Is there a wizard? Help!
