What formats are the forms available in?
The forms are available in Microsoft Word format (.doc) and Adobe Acrobat format (.pdf). Some of our forms are also available in Rich Text (.rtf) format. The Microsoft Word (.doc) format opens on PCs with Windows and either Microsoft Word or WordPad. On Mac, you will need Microsoft Word for Mac or AppleWorks to open this type of file. Text Edit on Mac OS X can also open these files. The benefit of using Microsoft Word files is that you may edit the form on your computer. The Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format works on both PCs and Macs. You need the free Acrobat Reader software to view these files (or the Preview Application included in Mac OS X). The benefit of Acrobat (.pdf) files is that they look and print identically on all computers. However, our Acrobat files are not editable. You may only print them. Rich Text Format (.rtf) is a simple text format that supports simple effects such as bold type. This format will open on any PC or Mac, but is more difficult to format. Back to top.
