How to get started using the Web Version of Administrative Forms

The types of forms available from this website are Adobe Acrobat (Interactive and Print Only) forms, Corel Quattro Pro forms and Excel forms.

ADOBE ACROBAT - Interactive and Print Only

These forms are Portable Document Format (pdf) files. The forms are noted with the logos>pdf symbol and the pdf extension on the title. For more information on pdf files visit www.ksu.edu/tools/pdf website.

Most of the Adobe Acrobat forms are Interactive. Information can be entered in fields on the form and then printed.

The font size and style are already specified, along with centering and any other formatting needed. Most fields are designed to receive typed input, but some are pull-down lists, check boxes and radio buttons. Some of the forms are designed for doing calculations and the formulas have already been entered. After the information has been entered the form can be printed and submitted.

PRINT ONLY

The print only logos>wpd  forms are just that "Print Only". These forms will need to be printed off before being filled in with a typewriter or by hand and submitted.

NAVIGATING INTERACTIVE FORMS

Some forms have borders indicating the fields. Others have underlined spaces. The spaces on the form where a form field is located the cursor will change into an I-beam. Click in the field and type the information when text or numbers are to be typed. If it's a check box, radio button or other field that responds to clicking, it will turn into a hand with the index finger extended.

If the cursor is left over most fields for more than a couple of seconds, an information window will pop up with instructions about what information to enter. To move to the next field, press Tab or move the cursor.

On some of the forms several fields may display the same information -- such as county name. The information needs only to be typed once and it will appear in all the fields indicating the same information.

Note: There may be specific instructions for entering data on some of the forms. Please refer to the instructions for each form for clarification.

QUATTRO PRO FORMS

Quattro Pro forms are identified with the .wb3 or .qpw extensions or the logos>wb3 symbol.

Please note formulas have been added for calculations on these forms. Cells notated with $0 or $0.00 will automatically calculate Sub-Totals and Totals. Refer to instructions for each form for specific information.
