This session provides an overview of how you can use the Visual Studio .NET
2003 project templates provided by Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the
Microsoft Office System to create Smart Client solutions that use Microsoft
Office Excel 2003 and Microsoft Office Word 2003. This session will also show
the value of InfoPath, how to build solutions and review many of the new features
and managed code support. Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 is a hybrid tool that
combines the best of a traditional document editing experience, such as a word
processor or e-mail application, with the rigorous data-capture capabilities of a
forms package.
