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.
