I. TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS
The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe

They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a typewr iter or by
hand.
It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, cli ck 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 fo rm 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.
