InfoPath 2007 Form Schema Install in Word 2007

[CharlieBrown]

I have Office 2007 and have developed a form in InfoPath 2007. I am trying
to create a Word 2007 doc that uses data collected in the InfoPath form. I
have been reading books on how to link my Word doc to my InfoPath form. My
understanding is that I first have to "install'" the schema file from my
InfoPath form in my Word document. When I try to do add my InfoPath file
schema within Word 2007 (Developer tab --> Schema --> Templates and Add-ins),
I get a message in a window that says "The XML expansion pack or schema file
could not be installed". I tried different combinations of selections
available under the "XML Options" section, but continue to get the same
message. Any tips on how I can get a beginning Word 2007 doc to install my
InfoPath 2007 schema?

Hi

This isn't something I've ever done before, but the instructions on this page
seem to cover it:
