Chapter 9. Designing and using forms InfoPath Power User Task -
Forms on steroids -
Using a form -
Designing a form InfoPath, a new addition to the Office suite, is at heart a forms processor, although with novel features that transcend the category. Nevertheless, we pragmatic authors would have named it "Microsoft Forms". But Jean Paoli, who conceived the product, has a philosophic bent. Jean says the name InfoPath was chosen to connote the idea of "providing a path for information to travel among the disconnected islands of a business". In this chapter we'll help you get your information traveling. We'll teach you how to design forms and how end users go about completing them. Skills required | No special skills are required for this chapter. However, general familiarity with Office products will be helpful as InfoPath uses some Office functions and provides a similar interface and environment. | |
