[ANSTHRLD] New Forms online

[Alden Drake]

The only way I can think of to accomodate both sides is to have a PDF form with editable fields, which will allow the layout to remain *locked*.  The downside of this is that to edit the fields, I think you need Adobe Acrobat (not just Acrobat Reader - which is free).

Alasdair figured out the secret. :)

We typically do NOT link to the DOC format versions (but they're online all
the same), to save Asterisk (and Bordure) headaches.

What headaches? The ones caused by submitters who are trying to do us the
favor of not having to decipher handwriting (and believe me, that is a favor
we're all grateful for!) but who, in the process, don't realize that we need
the form's formatting to remain exactly as-is, and inadvertantly move stuff
all over the page.

(Yes, I've had to redo forms like this entirely before...)
