I am using Office 365 (Sharepoint Online) and I am using there also Infopath Form Web Parts

wapfunz:
Can I use a Published Infopath form as the basis of a webpart

Yes

For example, in browser (or Sharepoint Designer 2010) create a web page; on ribbon, Site Actions > New Page > enter "New page name:" > click Create button > on ribbon under Insert tab press More Web Parts > Forms > Infopath Form Web Part > Add...

In Infopath Form Web Part Menu choose Edit Web Part > Select a list or a library... > etc.

wapfunz:
Can this form be made as a webpart or do I have to duplicate all fields as a list and use the list form as the basis of the webpart

This depends ... or I didn't understand clearly what you've asked

wapfunz:
What I find is that when I try to create a webpart in Office 365 I cannot find the library

Infopath form web part is usually used in web pages and in whatever locations you have chosen not in the library

Then, while creating an Infopath Form Web Part in web page, you just insert/link/cpnfigure previously created in Infopath Designer 2010 Infopath form (in other words, one cannot change/create/modify Infopath form outside of Infopath Designer 2010)

wapfunz:
This may be due to the fact that there are allot of sub sites for different companie sites all on the same server as part of the cloud

One has no access to content of other subscribers in Office 365.
You probably did not get familiar with your own content in your Office 365 site collection generated for you automatically

wapfunz:
The forms publish to the subsite and not the main root directory?

Anywhere you want, but location of web page to which you inserted Infopath Form Web Part has even more loose location of your own choice

Use Published Form to Office 365 as webpart or must it be a list form?

Can I use a Published Infopath form as the basis of a webpart - the form is already browser enabled and submits to a form library in the site, or must the webpart be developed from a library list.

The existing form is activated by a link on the webpage and opens in a browser.

Can this form be made as a webpart or do I have to duplicate all fields as a list and use the list form as the basis of the webpart.

What I find is that when I try to create a webpart in Office 365 I cannot find the library.

This may be due to the fact that there are allot of sub sites for different companie sites all on the same server as part of the cloud.

The intranet server hosts all the group intranet sites so that when you explore you can see all the sub site folders.

The forms publish to the subsite and not the main root directory?
