Hello,

I previously had no issues with my InfoPath 2010 forms published fro use in web browser, but now I do (and can't seem to see what the diffrences are in the forms (don't read code).  My text box (rich text) controls (any control actually) are larger/ longer (visually) in the web browser IE 10 than in the InfoPath filler preview.

Thanks for any

Hi,

Which IE version do you use before, IE 10 or 9?

I would suggest to open the same form on another computer.

If the same issue occurs, uninstall current Office updates and see if it can help.

If the issue is IE related, you may ask the question on the following forum:

Hello,

I used IE 10 before (I'm in the creation stage of the forms) and I tested in IE 9 on another persons computer. 

I found the answer (S) (solution) to my issues, multiple as they were:

For text enriched controls (fields) I need to set the sizes to height specific px and width 100% and since they were in layout table cells (make sure the cell had a fixed width, which normally they do.)

For repeating tables I had to simply move the width (and make sure they were much smaller visually in the filler preview & creation page than what you see in the SP site/ browser).  To find the right width for example I had to test a bit with publishing to the SP site and adjusting until it was the right width and then setting all other repeating tables the same. (And this was tricky because you have to set each control to height auto px and width 100%, but the table column settings themselves have the blank for line height & widths that have specific px).

Lastly, and the most time consuming was fixing the layout table/controls for different views I had made with background images of MS Word art charts that I had to finagle.  It had already took me a number of online searches and ingenuity to figure out how to make the charts in InfoPath, but then even when you visualize controls within a layout table overlayed on the background image correctly within filler preview, the restitution would be offset in a browser, so I had to rework the position of the background image (copied from Word to MS Paint then saved as the view background) as well as accept that the layout tabel & controls within the filler views would be offset in order to look right in the browser view. 

Only God knows what my forms will look like in a few years with new browser builds . :) For now, the look fine in IE 10 & 9. I'll have to check with employees using Firefox, etc.

Still, thanks very much for your reply!!!

Thanks for your sharing.
