forms
is there a way I can create a form in word for people to fill out then, put a
pre printed form into the printer and just have it print the areas they filled in. we have pre printed work orders and I would like to make the form up in word so the guys can fill it out and use spell check. I have one now I set the margins on the sheet to get the text where it needs to be on the sheet it works good but I would like to set up the whole form. thank you -- steve |

Why not put a blank piece of paper in the printer and print the whole thing?

That would be nice but the office sends out the workorders and then we have
to fill them out when the job is complete and hand them back into the office. each sheet has a section to type in what was done on the job. the rest of the sheet is office numbers and discriptions that change with each sheet thats printed out. thaks steve "Jezebel" wrote: Why not put a blank piece of paper in the printer and print the whole thing?

You're going to spend a _lot_ of time trying to get a particular printer
(and printer driver) to put things on the page where you want them. And then when you change printers or software, it will need to be adjusted. How about printing "see attached" in the space provided and then typing an attachment on a blank page, perhaps with a reference number? -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Thanks all for the help.
for now I just set the header and footer to match the area we need to fill in and it seems to work, maybe some day they will let us just fill them out online and save some paper.
