Frequently Asked
Questions
 Can I save the information I type in the form for later use? |
Yes. The capability to save the information entered when using the full version of Adobe, how now been extended to users of Adobe Reader. To save the information, click, “file”, “save”, and then select the place on your computer where you want to save it. | | Can I type as much as I want in the form? |
Please note that as you add text in a particular field or box please be aware that there is a limited amount of space. Although the amount of space allocated to a particular field is fixed the space individual characters may occupy can vary (e.g. an 'i' takes less space than a 'w'). Therefore please check that all of the details you have typed in a particular box are clearly shown when you have finished. Avoid the use of capitals to maximize the number of characters that you can place in a specific field. There are some fields for free text. These are designed to wrap the text when you get to the end of the line, no need to hit enter. If there isn't enough room for a certain field, you will need to hand-write it after. However, the fields have been created with a large amount of space. If there are forms that you frequently find do not have enough space to type in the necessary text, please e-mail: sheila.lowe@state.vt.us with the form name and field information.
| | How do I fill in the form? |
Once the file is open, left click in the first cell you will need to type information into, type in the information, hit the tab key to move to the next field that will need to be filled in, continue to hit the tab key after each entry to navigate through the fields until the form is completed. Where possible, the tabs have been organized to lead you from one field to another in the order in which the each field or box needs to be completed. If at any time you want to go to a certain field, you can click in that field. If the field requires a "checkmark" or "X" you will need to place the mouse cursor over the field and left click in the field to have one appear. Hit tab to continue filling out the form.
