MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / June 2006Change to a Word Document
Love the product! After a form is submitted, I want to need to save it as a Word Document - haven't found any information on this. Joel There are a couple of ways to do this, but they are dependent on what you wish to do with the word document later on? 1: it is possible to export an InfoPath form to a .MHT file (Microsoft HTML) these files can be opened directly by Word 2: If you are planning to try and get to the data in the word document later on though you will need to use an export to a word xml document. Cheers Ben Walters, > Love the product! After a form is submitted, I want to need to save it as a > Word Document - haven't found any information on this. Ben, Thanks for the response. Made me realize that I didn't ask the real question - We have an old form in word (dumb document). Unfortunately, we are audited on this exact form and can't change it. Also need to be able to attach it as a DOC file in another application. However, want to use IP to improve the data collection quality and feed Access. I see how the MHT file works - pretty cool. I was able to create a new view in IP that looks like the original word document. However, when I'm looking at this view and select "Preview", I end up previewing the main form. Likewise, when I try to print it, it prints the main form. Tried changing the defaults, but doesn't seem to work.

Joel, When you have more than one view in IP you can access alternate views via the "View" menu. It is also possible to code up this functionliaty via a command button on the first view that will direct the user to the second view. Hope this helps Cheers Ben Walters > Ben, Thanks for the response. Made me realize that I didn't ask the real > question - We have an old form in word (dumb document).

Ben, In following to your response to Joel's original question, I am trying to get a version of my form to Word where I need to do a Select All, then copy to the clipboard. I must get the form to the clipboard due to a specific customer encryption technique. Can you provide some guidance on how I might accomplish this? I unsuccessfully tried various VBScript techniques within the form. Any help would be appreciated.
