InfoPath Dev

Recently I have a feedback from my users complaining that when he merges many infopath forms into one, there is a problem with heterogeneous font and styles from the rich text boxes. It is very painful to reformat the rich text box after the merging. The users want me to impose a uniform font and style to the rich text box, so that after merging he doesn't have to reformat the text box by hand. I believe I have to write code to apply the uniform font and style to the rich text box, since there are various ways for writing code in Infopath, I would like to know what is the the best way to implement what I wish. (Please note that the infopath form is published in MOSS 2007, and users d'ont have Infopath client installed, they used it through IE) Thank you in advance. Best regards, -- Thanh-Nu Leroy

I think this is an issue with merge, you have very limited control on how it is presented.

I believe you could create some code to modify the font of the result.

Have you thought about collecting the submitted information in a database for reporting and analysis?

You may want to check out the Database Accelerator.  It would allow you to collect all of the submitted information in a database, then instead of merge you could view and process this information with a specific admin form, excel, or a SQL report. These would give you much more capability and flexibility.  It even comes with some templates already created for Admin process, for the secondary process of forms.
