Thanks for the update - different views with a button to switch is a great idea!

Hi Hilary, It's cardinaltalos here again under a different guise...due to issues with my password :) I've discovered that there are several tools which seem unique to a Document Information Panel template within InfoPath 2013. How these aren't available when making a 'normal' form I don't know!! The Scrolling Region maybe helpful when it comes to including lots of content. But I think the best solution is to use multiple views, with a button to skip back and forth. I'm still trying to understand how the height of the DIP is set whenever I publish the DIP. Sometimes (depending on the controls) it displays at it's maximum height, other times at a decreased height.... Thanks for you help. Hopefully this will help someone else working with DIPs!

That doesn't sound good!

I think I can probably get away with using horizontal space. These promoted fields are just to guide it through a workflow.

Thanks Hilary.

We have some SPAM filtering turned on - which occasionally gets a false positive. I deleted the post in the moderation queue. Have you thought about using more horizontal space? I think there may be inherent limits around the max height of a DIP (but I've rarely used them, so I'm guessing here).

I tried to post another picture by clicking the reply button on your post - but it says it's gone to the moderator.

I'll try again now...

Can you attach a screenshot under a reply in the options tab? Maybe one that shows it in design mode in InfoPath and another how it looks in the document?

Change Height on the Document Information Panel

Hi,

Using SharePoint Online (O365) with InfoPath 2013 and Word 2013.

I am editing the DIP for a Document Content Type using InfoPath 2013. I have an increasing set of fields that need to display on the DIP but I am running out of room.

Is there a way to increase the height of the DIP displayed when a document is opened/created?

I've checked the Page Properties in InfoPath.
