I would like to create a form in infopath 2010 that once the information is entered on the form some sort of submit button is pressed which then opens up ms word and populates a template (I'm guessing). A google search shows this as being possible but seems to be centered around sharepoint which I do not have. So my first question would be is what I am attempting to do possible without a sharepoint server? Also keep in mind I am not a programmer so the easier the solution the better. I don't know if this helps but I do have access to sql server and visual studio (again, if that even matters). So lets just say for simplicity I have an info path form with one field called firstname. How do I populate that data into word?

Microsoft InfoPath is a software application for designing, distributing, filling and submitting electronic forms containing structured data. The product features a WYSIWYG form designer in which the various controls (e.g. textbox, radio button, checkbox) are bound to data, represented separately as a hierarchical tree view of folders and data fields. All the data stored in InfoPath forms are stored in an XML format. Secondary data sources can be built into the form or they can be accessed through an external data connection to SharePoint or a Web service.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
