How to add infopath data to word doc

Question

hi
 I create a form in infopath. I want to combine the information in this form, in strategic places in a Word document. My intention is similar to a mail merge but from infopath software. In Mail Merge I create a lot of files at once. Here I want the
end user fills out the form and receive a letter. All details already filled in the right places.
In software info path field can be set to be equal to other fields, but there is no option like in Word design. And that makes it as a link and not as part of the text.
Would appreciate help
Thanks in advance
David

Hi,

1. Use a Document Information Panel (DIP). With this you can use field controls in Word and bind them to fields in the DIP (InfoPath form). See
http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2006/11/06/data-binding-between-document-information-panel-and-word-document.aspx for an example on how this is done.
2. Use VSTO to host an InfoPath form control (see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.infopath.formcontrol(vs.80).aspx) in a task pane in your Word document.
For InfoPath related issue, you can also post in the following forum to get more assistance:
