Manually: Double-click it or choose Tools | Forms | Choose Form

Programmatically: Use the Application.CreateItemFromTemplate method

The only way i know to publish it is to open the form (by double clicking it)
on the individual computer and go to tools | Forms | Publish Form. After
that, i know how to load a form.

The issue is that Windows does not recognize the form.oft extension so when
i double click on it to open and publish it, it doesn't work. I've tried to
select outlook to open it but that doesn't work. Is there another way to open
the form so i can publish it to this computer?

If the .oft file extension isn't recognized, try running Help | Detect and Repair in Outlook and choose to reset shortcuts.

As I said, in addition to running the .oft file itself, you can invoke it through the Tools | Forms | Choose Form dialog. Browse to Templates in File System.
