Thank you, Greg. I agree that that seems like a lot of effort unless there's
a strong need.

FWIW, people like me, who are coming to InfoPath with a strong background in
Word, are going to REALLY miss styles. My company uses company-wide templates
with custom toolbars (which I built) to apply a variety of styles with one
click on the appropriate button. Paragraph styles require only that the
insertion point be somewhere in the paragraph, so they're much faster than
the Format Painter, which requires that you select the text.

The inability even just to redefine the Heading styles in InfoPath amazes
me! That alone would allow enough functionality to get by, since it is
possible to set each type of control or all controls to a standard set of
attributes, and labels and headings are the primary areas that need adjusting.

FYI, I searched on everything I could think of and could find nothing in
Microsoft's InfoPath pages about this issue. Perhaps those of us who
extensively use and understand styles and templates in Word are rarer than I
thought, but a few words of explanation about what can and can't be done
stylewise in InfoPath would certainly have been helpful.

I don't know if you have occasion to pass suggestions along to Microsoft,
but if you do, I'd suggest more information on the subject now and definable
Headings in an update.

My goal is to make form development as fast as possible, while still working
within my company's style standards. I would greatly appreciate any other
suggestions you might have.

Thanks for letting me bend your ear, and thanks too for helping me with my
questions.
