Feature Area Feature Description
Built on the XML Industry
Standards
Enhanced
Forms created with Microsoft Office InfoPath® 2007 are based on
XML schemas that you define to control the structure of the data
captured by the form. A completed form is an XML file that
complies with that structure, making it highly actionable.
Browser-based Forms
New
Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007 makes it possible to design
Web-capable forms in Office InfoPath 2007 and distribute them
on corporate intranets, extranets, or the Internet. Users can fill
out forms in a browser with no download or client components
needed.
“Design Once”
Development Model
New
Forms designers can design their forms once and deploy them for
use both within the rich Office InfoPath 2007 client program and
through a Web browser. Office Forms Server 2007 automatically
converts the form into ASP.NET Web forms, with no additional
work from the designer.
Form Import Wizard
New
The designer in Office InfoPath 2007 provides an easy way to
convert forms designed in Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft
Office Word into rich Office InfoPath 2007 forms. The Form
Import Wizard handles the conversion of form fields, repeating
tables, rich text boxes, and other elements, dynamically
generating the underlying XML structure for the new form.
Advanced “No-code”
Form Features
Enhanced
The designer in Office InfoPath 2007 helps forms designers define
validation, calculations, conditional formatting, and rules
declaratively, without having to write any code.
