How do save an InfoPath doc as an editable Excel worksheet?

[a-cranes]

I have an InfoPath form with many fields to be completed. I need to send the
form to another user to complete. That user doesn't have InfoPath installed.
I'd like to save my form as an Excel worksheet that retains the layout of the
original form.

Can I do that? Can it be saved as a table in Word instead?

One option you could use it to apply an XSL transform to the XML from the
InfoPath form. Excel has a well documented schema for XML documents. I have
used a transform of XML to create an Excel document in the past.

You would have the ability to control the layout in Excel, but I imagine it
would take a lot of trial and error to get it looking just how you want it.

Good luck.
