NOTES ON COMPLETING THESE FORMS

The form(s) in this packet contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word. “Form fields” facilitate completion of the forms using your computer. They do not limit you 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 in 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. This is appropriate and the way the form is designed to function.
