Submission Instructions

 

To avoid formatting difficulties, please take the following steps before working with these documents: 

1) Make sure that the document is saved to your computer so you are not working in "read only" mode.

2) If the "track Changes" tool is turned on, with the document open, go to "Tools", select "Options", and open the "Track Changes" tab and change all of the tools to "none" and the Use Balloons to "never". 

3) Do not use these documents from the browser. Make sure that you are working from the file saved to your computer. To ensure that this happens, go to "Control Panel" and select "Folder Options" and select the "File Types" tab. Scroll down to "doc" for MS Word and go to the "Advanced" tab and uncheck the box that indicates "browse in same window". Click ok to save and then close. 

If you still have formatting problems with the forms, please call ext. 3452 or 4134.
