Editing Forms

The forms on this CD-ROM are not very useful until they are personalized with your company name, address, phone number, and other pertinent information. Not only can these forms be personalized, they were meant to be modified from the generic form that is on the CD-ROM into the perfect form for your business.

As an example, let's suppose that you want to create a new time card form for your employees to track their hours. The time card form on the CD-ROM offers places for employees to enter hours in various departments, such as the embroidery department and the printing department. Your company does not have one of these areas of work, but you do have a shipping department that is not represented. By editing the form in your vector-based art software, you can change the form to eliminate the department you do not have, and to add the shipping department. Every form in this kit is meant to serve as a guideline for creating the perfect form for your organization. You are free to change any form in any way that makes the form serve you better.

To edit a form, go to the table of contents of this manual, and select the form you wish to use. Clicking on the form's link will bring up a page describing the form, it's relevant parts, and the name of the file in which the form is stored on the CD-ROM. Open the file, and you may edit the form as you would any other artwork in that software. Be sure to choose "Save As..." from the file menu when you attempt to save the form for the first time, as you cannot save the form back to the CD-ROM. CD-ROM disks are read-only.
