  • Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the form is completed
  • Print the form
  • Click the Back button in the upper left hand corner of your screen
  • When prompted to save the form click on the 'No' button

Note: If you use the Word forms frequently you may save them to your PC's hard drive to simplify the forms' completion process.

To save a form to your PC use the following procedure:

Troubleshooting

Problem: When I print the form it separates sections of the form and shifts them to the next page?
Solution: This is most often caused by the type of printer or print driver used to print the forms. Lower the margins established for the document in your Page setup and make sure you have the latest print driver installed. NOTE: Not all printers are capable of printing close to the borders of a page. If your printer will not print with margins of 0.25 inches you may not be able to correctly print the forms using Word. However, you may be able to print the forms from the .pdf format version.

Problem: When I attempt to print the file as an MS Word® document the data prints but the form boxes do not?
Solution: This problem can be corrected by using the following procedure:

  • In Word, go to Tools and click
  • Go to Options and click
  • Go to the Print tab and click
  • If the "Print data only for forms box " is checked, clear the box
  • Click on the OK button

Problem: When I click on a form I get an error message that says the form cannot be loaded or located?
Solution: Contact the site administrator

Problem: One or more of the fields in the form are not large enough to accomodate the information I need to enter.
Solution: Contact the site administrator

Problem: I do not have MS Word 97 loaded on my computer but I would like to use the forms as Word documents. Can I do this?
Solution: Microsoft Internet Explorer® v 5.0 provides support for Word documents as fill-in forms. This means you can fill in and print them from the Internet site. However, as noted above you cannot save them to your hard drive and open them as forms unless you have access to MS Word 97®.

If you have any other problems accessing, saving, or printing the forms please contact Herschel L. McDivitt at (317) 232-4058 or at hmcdivitt@dnr.IN.gov
