How to convert xsn to doc file

Unfortunately, InfoPath (which natively uses .xsn files) cannot save directly to MS Word formats (.doc, .docx), but it does support export to MHT and MHTML formats that can be imported to MS Word and used for making new documents.

You can find this function in InfoPath in the File ► Export To ► Web menu and need to use "Single File Web Page" function to get MHT/MHTML documents. Once you have these, you can easily open them in Word and work with them.

Understanding XSN and DOC file formats

The XSN file format is primarily associated with Microsoft InfoPath, a software application for designing, distributing, filling, and submitting electronic forms containing structured data. XSN files are template files that define the layout, structure, and behavior of a form.

On the other hand, the DOC file format is a widely used word processing format developed by Microsoft for its Word software. DOC files are used to create and edit text documents, and they can include various elements such as text, images, tables, and more.

How to convert XSN to DOC

Converting an XSN file to a DOC file involves extracting the data from the InfoPath form and then saving it in a Word document format. This process can be done manually or with the help of specialized software.

Best software for XSN to DOC conversion

One of the best tools for converting XSN to DOC is Microsoft InfoPath itself, as it allows you to open the XSN file and export the data to a Word document. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Open the XSN file in Microsoft InfoPath.
  • Go to File → Export → PDF or XPS.
  • Choose the DOC format as the export option.
  • Save the file to your desired location.

Alternatively, you can use third-party conversion tools like Zamzar or Convertio, which offer online conversion services for various file formats.
