Printed forms
I don't know if this is the right group but perhaps if I describe what I am
after, someone could point me in the right direction. I have some printed Architects Instruction forms. The architect completes a copy by hand I have to enter them on the PC and print them. I would like to make a template with the necessary blanks so that when I type them, the text/figures line up on the form for printing. Hope I have described it OK. TIA |

Printed forms
This is one of the more difficult things to do. It is easier to replicate
and print the form filled in! What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm. Once you've read at least the first of Dian Chapman's articles, write back and if you really need to print on the pre-printed form, someone will try to walk you through it, I'm sure.
