Can I open a Infopath 2007 Form in Word 2007 using Ribbon UI

Hi ,
Can anyone clear my doubts on whether we can open a InfoPath Form in Word
2007 using say New --> MyForm in office ribbon UI?
I know so far that we can develop DIP (Document Information Panel) using
InfoPath for Workflow or for collection additional information related to
document. But can we just open any IP form in word 2007?

If possible then, I have another related question - does we need to have
Infopath Installed on machine to open IP form in Word 2007?

Thanks in advance!,

Anil

You can use Visual Studio Tools for Office, develop your own ribbon, and even
possibly have that button open a browser-enabled form without the need for an
infopath client installation. There are also tutorials on how to embed your
form in a custom windows form application, which possibly could be opened by
the ribbon button.

Here's a link to the InfoPathDev forums to help get you pointed in the right
direction:
