Please help!
I need to know if it's possible to open a form created in infopath with
another program. My situation is as follows: we want to send an application
to our clients and have their answers populate into our CRM. What are the
options if the client doesnt have infopath?

InfoPath forms are just XML, which is just text, so you can open them with
any program that can read XML or text files.

Hello I've had a similar issue where I made the document XML, read this post
and tried to open the form in Word. When it opened the form looked nothing
like what I had designed just showed the fields. What am I doing wrong?
