Invoke Infopath

Hi,
I learned about infopath indirectly when I noticed a Windows security update for it (KB2687440).
I thought I would try it but I am unsuccessful. I don't know how to invoke it.
I followed these steps:
1 Click "Start," point to "All programs" and then click "Microsoft Word."
2 Press the "Ctrl" and "W" keys on your keyboard to close any open Word document.
3 Click the "Developer" tab on the Word 2007 window and then click "Design Mode" in the "Controls" group.
4 Click the "File" menu and then click "Import Form."
5 Choose "InfoPath importer for Word documents" on the Import Wizard that opens and then click "Next."
6 Click the "Browse" button.
7 Navigate to the location in your computer where the Word document that you want to convert to an InfoPath form template is stored and then double-click the Word document.
8 Click the "Finish" button.

I don't see "File menu" as specified in step 4
I have Office 2007.
How do I do this?
Thanks

I think that I am out of luck. I don't believe that my version of Word or Excel includes Infopath I have Office Home and Student 2007.

Hi Frank,

Yes, unfortunately your version of Office doesn't include InfoPath. It is included in:

Office 07: Ultimate, Professional Plus and Enteprise
Office 10: Professional Plus

It can be bought separately for either of these though. For Office 07 it's $179.88 and for Office 2010 for $199.00.

It's pretty expensive though! Do you have any good student discount sites in the states? We have one here that I love:

I got Office 2010 Pro Plus for just shy of £80 - which is roughly $129.

Thanks Tom,
I have no need for infopath I just wanted to see if I could make it work. Some years ago, before I retired from IBM I could possibly have used it. I am a bit puzzled as to why I would get a security update (KB2687440) for infopath. Apparently I do have some aspect of it. The update worked OK.
