Import and export options - If you use existing forms in Microsoft Office Word or Microsoft Office Excel, and you want to convert those forms into InfoPath form templates, you don't have to re-create them from scratch. Instead, you can use a wizard to quickly convert the existing document or workbook into a template.
More options for designing views - when you design a form template that has multiple views.
Reusable template parts - create your own custom template parts to achieve a standardised, consistent design for a collection of form templates

Logic inspector - you can review all of the data validation settings, calculated default values, rules, and programming features that are associated with your form template

InfoPath inside Visual Studio - you can integrate InfoPath design-mode features into the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 development environment by downloading and installing Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System on your computer
Visual Studio inside InfoPath - with the design mode, you can quickly add managed code to your form template by opening Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Applications
Archiving options - organisations often archive forms as the last step in the form-design life cycle. In InfoPath, you can archive a completed form by opening the form and exporting it to PDF or XPS
