I.  TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS
The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word
or   Adobe   Acrobat   (“.pdf”   format).   “Form   fields”  facilitate   completion   of  the   forms   using
your  computer.   They  do   not  limit   your   ability   to   print   the   form  “in   blank”  and   complete
with a typewriter or by hand.
It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View
menu, click on Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look
for the button on the Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter “a”. Click this button
and the form fields will be visible. 
By   clicking   on   the   appropriate   form   field,   you   will   be   able   to   enter   the   needed
information.   In   some   instances,   the   form   field   and   the   line   will   disappear   after
information is entered. In other cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this
manner.
