    Cut and paste controls or tables

     

    Hi,

    Really new to this, I am a H&S Manager just making up forms, by no means a computer expert hoping you can help me.  Having a hard time copying and pasting controls. For example, I drafted a form using a blank form but then realised I had to use blank form filler to input signatures, so I tried coping all the form and just pasting it on the new form using form filler. I have to then go though all my controls properties again. Is there a easier way of doing this?

    So grateful if you can help.

    If the issue was just that used a browser template instead of a filler template, you can go to Form Options > Compatibility and change the form to a filler form there.

     Wow Hilary!

    You have just saved me so much work.

     It there a easy way of coping and pasting tables without having to change all the control properties?

    Because of control data binding, copying / pasting in InfoPath is not a very good plan. Generally speaking, if you want the same table bound to a different node, you can copy & paste it and rebind everything - but it is usually easier to just start from scratch.
