so, the form is just a compilation of field labels and series of underscores or drawn lines or rectangles instead of meaningful input boxes. in such a case, i think, the easiest way is to take snapshots in good resolution, insert them into a writer document in background and place frames on top of those lines or rectangles. i used to do so. another way is to insert typewriter comments over the input lines in a pdf reader. adobe's latest reader allows typewriting. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
