While Word based forms may not provide the functionality that you are familiar with from using InfoPath, you can create basic forms that even reference data in other SharePoint lists and build workflows to support the forms using SharePoint Designer. In the meantime, another often forgotten alternative is to create your forms in Microsoft Word. I’ve not taken a look at either of these two products yet, but if I can get my hands on a trial of either of them, I’ll let you know what I think. There are a couple of commercial alternatives to InfoPath such as K2 or Nintex.
If you have the typical form application, you may think that it will be replaced within the next ten years anyway so why not use InfoPath for now. Sure they promised to support InfoPath as it currently exists until 2024 which may seem a long ways off. Microsoft has announced that InfoPath is at the end of it’s life.
