Questions about Western's Supp. Form

[Toejam]

Please humor me on this one.

I got the supplemental forms via e-mail, but I'm finding it difficult to type in the information without distorting the form. Each character I type in causes the whole form to shift one character to the right.

Am I supposed to just print it out and fill it out by hand? Is there a way to fill it out as is by typing, but not change the structure of the document.

Thank you for not laughing at me.

I don't know how they are doing it this year, but when I filled out my secondary last year, all the essay questions were on a separate page...so, what I did was type out the question again in bold as it was on the application and finished it on a word document. I hope that helps!!!

About the rest of the application, I remember just printing it all out and going to kinkos to type it...I think a friend of mine did it on the web, but had to delete all of the underlining since that messes up the alignment of the form.

Good luck!

Thanks

I was told not to try and manipulate the forms that were sent by e-mail. This was done so that we could get a head start on the whole thing. I was advised to wait until the forms are available on-line where, I believe, we can fill them out.

Sorry my advice didn't help...I guess they changed things from last year. We didn't do anything over email...they had forms on the web though.

Maybe you should try calling Western to tell them about the problem, I doubt they would laugh at you. And, since it seems like this is relatively new for them...so it may pinpoint a problem that the other 1000 or so students will face in the months to come.

Again, good luck!
