Default export custom form

It's been a while so refresh my memory. I have a form called 'Change Form
as', basically it's a form for contacts to change all forms in the folder to
"First-Last", "Last First" "Company-First Last", etc... at once. It's made
from a "message" form.
How do I export it? seems to me I used to go into design mode, change
something, republish it and sent it as a message to whoever. Once it's there
go into design phase, change back whatever was changed and republish...
I've done it a couple times about 5 years ago, but now I can't get it sent -
won't leave Outbox...

By "export," do you mean that you want to save a copy of the form outside
Outlook for backup purposes? The easiest way to do that is with the Save As
command, save it as an .oft file. The recipient will need to save the .oft
file to the local drive, then use the Tools | Forms | Design This Form
command to open it in design mode for changes and publishing.

That sounds good... I figured it out, or at least it worked...(in design) I
unchecked "show this page" on the form page that was customized, checked
"send form definitions with form" in properties, published, pulled it up
clicked save, that put it in my Draft folder (I couldn't get it out of the
Outbox/sent) I put the draft as an attachment in a regular message... viola
(long drawn out but it worked) thanks. I'll try your way next time... LOL
