SUMMARY

There may be a few cases where you would like to send the information in a Microsoft Exchange form to another user without having the graphics of the form displayed when reading the form. For these cases you can create a textized Microsoft Exchange form that will only send the text of the form, this may be useful if you were sending the form to a user on a Macintosh that cannot read the graphical form.
