Instructions for filling-in a PDF file on-line.
PDF fill-in documents allow you to enter information directly from your PC, then print the form with the information you entered. There is no computation, validation or verification of information you enter. You are still responsible for entering all required information. Some fields, such as signatures, may require information to be handwritten on the form. Data you enter into the fill-in fields cannot be e-mailed nor can the completed form be saved unless you have the entire Adobe Acrobat software package.
Open the PDF form.
Select the hand tool from the Acrobat toolbar menu.
Move the hand pointer inside a form field. Click when it changes to an I-beam pointer.
The I-beam pointer allows you to type text.
The arrow pointer allows you to select a field or check a box.
Press Tab to accept the information you have typed and go the next field.
Press Shift + Tab to accept the information you have typed and go to the previous field.
You may also use your mouse to move from field to field. (You cannot access the check boxes using the tab key. You must click on the check-box fields with the arrow pointer.)
Print the completed form as usual.

CAPTCHA is rather odd sounding, but it's something we all have to deal with on the Internet from time to time. CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing [test to tell] Computers and Humans Apart. It's basically a kind of response test used with computers to determine if a user is human or not.
In other words, when you're on certain Web sites, have you ever had to type in a series of letters and numbers in order to continue on? If so, that's a CAPTCHA test! The code is sometimes distorted or it will have a design behind it that makes it a little harder to read
CAPTCHA tests are sometimes hard to solve, but they are there for our own good. They are mainly used for security, especially on Web sites that require you to enter in your personal information. See, sometimes hackers use what are called bots to attack users. The bots are generated by computers and in reality, computers are unable to solve the CAPTCHA tests. Only humans can type in the right code and continue on, so that really helps in keeping you safe. So, while it's true that these tests can be quite a nuisance, I always feel better when I see them. I know I'm in good hands when I do. I'm sure you'll think differently about them now too!
Clean That Screen!
I've gotten a couple of questions recently concerning the upkeep of LCD screens
There are cleaning kits, which will run you about $12, and apart from setting you back a few bucks, they don't offer cleaning power any more substantial than a four dollar rag and some good ol' H2o. What you'll need to buy is a microfiber cloth, which can be found at your local mega-mart or drugstore. Run it under some luke-warm water and wring that puppy out, and when I say wring it out I mean make sure that it's just barely moist. This is important, because if you're dripping water all over the screen the consequences could cost you another monitor, so be careful!
Make sure the monitor is turned off (obviously!) and wipe it down, making sure to be as gentle as a lamb. In no time you'll have a nice, spotless screen and peace of mind in knowing that you saved some money, too!
What the F-key? F5 through F8 (Extended)
Welcome back to another exciting edition of “What the F-key?” Today our special guest stars are F5 through F8. Let's give them a warm round of applause! Just to recap, the function keys are the line of “F” keys going across the top of your keyboard going from F1 to F12. As before, we'll be covering the ALT, CTRL and Shift functions of these keys to see what they do.
Note : Do not expect all of these key combinations to work. Some of them may be program specific, or obsolete. If you're slamming the keys and nothing is happening, move on! :)
F5
Shift + F5 = Move to a previous revision (MS Word)
CTRL + F5 = Unconditional Refresh (Refreshes Internet Explorer from Internet, not cache)
ALT + F5 = Closes the Word Program (although nothing happened for me)
CTRL + F5 = Restore document window size (Apparently not functional)
F6
Shift + F6 = Program specific. Experiment at your own risk, and don't forget to save your work first!
CTRL + F6 = Cycles forwards between open windows within a program
CTRL + Shift + F6 = Cycles backwards between open windows within a program
F7
Shift + F7 = Opens the Thesaurus command in MS Word.
CTRL + F7 = Program specific. Experiment with this one, but save your work first!
CTRL + Shift + F7 = Updates linked information in a Word document.
ALT + F7 = Finds the next misspelling or grammatical error.
F8
Shift + F8 = Shrink current selection (MS Word)
CTRL + F8 = Program specific. In Microsoft Project it resizes the project window.
Alt + F8 = Opens the macro menu (MS Word)
There are many more shortcuts to be had outside of what I've listed here. A lot of programs, like Adobe Photoshop, use combination functions all the time! It's all a matter of experimentation and remembering to save your work first!
With Internet Explorer:
1. Click the Tools menu, Options, and select the Advanced tab.
2. Scroll down to the "printing" category. Make sure the box for printing backgrounds is NOT checked. Then click OK
That's it. If you were printing out backgrounds before, this should take care of the problem. Conversely, if you want the backgrounds, make sure
that little box is checked.
With Mozilla Firefox:
1. Click File, Page setup...
2. Make sure the "Print backgrounds" box is unchecked.
If you were printing out backgrounds before, this should take care of the problem. Conversely, if you want the backgrounds, make sure
that little box is checked.
