Your best bet would be to create a new view in InfoPath and then edit the generated XSL with an outside editor. Try this:

1. Create a new view - name it "Custom"
2. Export form files by File -> Export Form Files
3. Open the folder that you extracted things to
4. Open the Custom.xsl file in your outside editor, make changes, save, and close
5. Right click on manifest.xsf and choose Design
6. Re-publish to a new location to obtain a fresh XSN package

Thanks Matt,
I have read that Infopath does some custom stuff with the xsl. ?
I really could use an example.. If you do come across please let me know.

thanks.

Yes, probably, you just need to edit the "header" of the XSL file to make sure that InfoPath recognizes it as a "view". Also, you might have to hack a coupel other files such as the manifest.xsf.

Is there a way to show a view.xsl that was created by another xsl editor in infopath ?
