Your business
problem: How to capture business data efficiently

data. This one-day seminar will present Microsoft
InfoPath as the solution to that problem, with
many practical examples of how you can use it
in your organization.
You will leave this course knowing the answers
to the following questions:
- What is InfoPath and what does it do?
- Why should organizations or teams consider
using InfoPath?
- How is InfoPath the cornerstone of Microsoft’s
new strategy to flaunt Office as a "system"?
- How is XML central to InfoPath, and to the
entire Office 2003 suite of products?
- How does InfoPath relate to Microsoft .NET?
- What is the relationship between InfoPath
and XForms?
- What are some of the typical ways InfoPath
can be used in the areas of Management, Sales
and Development?
To save you time and money, InfoPath will help
you to:
- Reduce repetitious and inefficient data entry.
- Collaborate more effectively with team members.
- Gather information more flexibly and accurately.
- Reduce training needs.
- Access information previously trapped in
disparate, incompatible systems.
Your goal is to gather information. How do you
gather information best? You give views on the

unlimited views of a single source file. This
course will show you how this can be achieved
in your situation.

XML, eXtensible
Markup Language, is a set of rules that let you
create custom tags and ensure consistent coding
for web applications, including documentation.
XML is more powerful than HTML but less complex
than its parent technology, SGML. With this mix
of extensibility, power, and (relative) simplicity,
XML is taking the web world by storm.
This seminar is aimed at technical communicators
who need to be familiar with basic XML concepts
but who do not plan to work at the code level.
The seminar presents XML's concepts, describes
types of validation, introduces DTDs and schemas,
and describes how XML may affect technical documentation.
Familiarity with HTML and Cascading Style Sheets
is helpful but not required.
