| Our first acknowledgment is to the people at Microsoft who brought XML to the desktop. Jean Paoli conceived the idea and spent more than three years bringing it to life. We especially thank him and Peter Pathe, VP of Office, for the day they spent visiting Charles and showing off their brainchild. They aroused the enthusiasm that led directly to this book project. Among the Office and InfoPath team members who helped us get the job done, we are particularly indebted to Melinda Lewison and Jeune Ji. We also thank Jacob Jaffe for supplying the InfoPath trial CDs. Faye Gemmellaro supervised the project for the publisher; we thank her for her dedication, attention to detail, and unfailing kindness and patience. We owe a very special thank you to Andrew Goldfarb who tackled a variety of editing and production tasks, in addition to serving as art director and artist-on-demand. Mark Taub, our Editor-in-Chief at Prentice Hall PTR, showed enormous enthusiasm for this project from the very start. We thank him for his help, encouragement, and guidance. Charles F. Goldfarb
