MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / October 2006Infopath form to Word doc
Since all users are not comptuer savvy, there are some users that are stuck on Word. The admins of our group converted performance mangement forms to Infopath, now another group's user needs the information in Word format. Is there a way to import the completed Infopath performance forms into Word (i.e, assembling a master document from all forms created? Unfortunately this functionality is not offered by Word. You would have to export the InfoPath form to a Word document. And since InfoPath does not have this functionality built into it either, you'll have to program it yourself by parsing the XML for the InfoPath form and creating a WordML document from that. In InfoPath 2007 you can write your own exporters to do such things. However, it does come with an importer for Word; no need to write that yourself. :) --- S.Y.M.

I am tring to do something similar to this. the differance is that i have a form that emails the xml document. i want it to send it the attachement as a word document. i know that you need to get it in word print view, i need an XSLT file somewhere. but i guess you need the infopath SDK which i am also having trouble with. any guidance would be greatly appreciated Aaron > Unfortunately this functionality is not offered by Word.

You need to use automation in both cases, for generating the Word document as well as the email. Since this question has popped up so often, I'll try to convert it into a solution and post it on my website. --- S.Y.M.

A possible solution to your scenario has been posted here: http://enterprise-solutions.swits.net/infopath2003/article.php?t=convert-infopat h-form-into-word-doc-send-email-attachment-outlook&c=infopath2003 --- S.Y.M.

Forgot to mention that you needn't open the document in Word to be able to send it in an email. You just need to create it. So you can delete those lines of code if your scenario does not require that functionality. --- S.Y.M.

Addendum: You could try merging the forms in InfoPath and then create a Word print view from the merged form. --- S.Y.M.
