Import a file to use as a form template

You can use importers to import files from other programs, and then use those files as form templates. This functionality depends on the particular importer. In some cases, after the form template has been imported, you may need to manually create the data source for the new form template, and then rebind the controls in the form.

1. In design mode, click Import Form on the File menu.
2. In the Select the import method to use list on the first page of the Import Wizard, do one of the following:
   • To use a previously installed importer, click the importer, and then click Next.
   • To browse for a new importer, click Browse for a new importer, and then click Next.

     Note  To browse for an importer, your computer must be connected to the Internet.

3. Follow the instructions in the Import Wizard to finish importing a file.
