InfoPath Dev

Is there a easy way to migrate old MS Word forms that use Text form Fields into Infopath Fields?

 What I'm looking to do is to take only the data stored in the Word Text Form Fields and dump it into the new form created in Infopath.

 Is that possible?

I have you tried saving the word file as XML?

Then you could have an InfoPath form based on that XML or could harvest it and pull it into the new form.

Hi Clay:) Thanks for the reply.

   I did try saving the Word form as XML but man what a mess when I look at it in notepad.

I wasn't sure how I'd "harvest it" or pull it into the new form.  I'd appreciate any ideas you have for me. By the way I'm using Office 2003.

You can try creating a new form and base it on the XML from Word and see what you get.

Also you could try adding a data connection to your form and ude the xml file as the source and see if InfoPath can parse it.
