POST Forms

Completing a form

To open a form, just click on the form title.
Here are some helpful tips for moving through fields:

Tab: moves cursor to next field to end an entry
Shift + Tab: moves cursor to previous field
Space bar or mouse click: fills in or clears a check-box
Copy/paste: If the form requires paragraph text, you may want to copy a large block of text from other software and paste it into the appropriate field.
To save: If the form can be saved, use the Save As command to save it to your local drive.
If the form cannot be saved and you need to start over, simply reopen the form.
To print: Use the menu print command or print icon.
