I'm on 2010 version of both. Yet, I would think that a screen shot is the safest way forward, especially if you're copying multiple views.

This what I thought but I wanted the opinions of others more experienced in InfoPath than I.

wilkies0106aw:
Do they need to form to be live or is it just to look at?

It is needed to compile a presentation for upper management, so it does not need to be live.

wilkies0106aw:
I'm not sure if it is possible, but you could in PP go Insert Object>Create from file.

I'll play around with that and see what happens.

wilkies0106aw:
I often do this from Excel and I import written instructions from Word and create an instructions sheet in word. Yet be careful, I only every seem to be able to import the 1st page only.

My initial thoughts for this were for the user go into the actual SP List that stores the information saved in InfoPath, export it to spreadsheet, then import spreadsheet to PowerPoint. The user thought that would be too many steps so I suggested screen shots.

It can be quite fiddly. I'd stick to screen shots for simplicity.

InfoPath To PowerPoint

I suspect the answer to this question is no, but I'm going to ask in the faint hope I could be wrong.

I developed an application that uses a number of different InfoPath forms for one of my customers. I have now been asked if it is possible to dump/export/copy/download/you pick the term/ an InfoPath form to a PowerPoint slide.

I told my customer that the best way is to just do a screen print of the InfoPath form at copy 'n paste it into the PPT Slide.

Is there a better way?
