Join Gini von Courter for an in-depth discussion in this video Previewing and printing a form, part of InfoPath 2013 Essential Training.
When you look at a form that you're in the middle of designing, you have a…different experience of that form then your user will have, because you see this…form along with the Design tools on the Ribbon and your user will be seeing this…form in either InfoPath Filler or a Browser.…So for example I've added a dropdown list here, and it doesn't dropdown in…this view, it just sits there.…I can do other things with that, I can set its properties, I can affect its…layout, but it doesn't behave like it's going to behave when users using the form.…
The same thing is true with the Date Picker; it just hangs around and lets me configure it…and set its properties, but it doesn't actually work.…So if I click on the HOME tab, I have the ability to Preview this Form, and…that's one why that I can see what the user experience looks like.…I mean another choice is, I could save this form, open up InfoPath Filler and…see what it looks like but the shortcut here is just to click on Preview and…InfoPath opens another window, and this is what the form looks like for the user.…
