To get the information form-fillable files to work, first it will be necessary to download the file from your browser. However, we suggest you first type in your information and then print off a copy before re-saving it and closing the file. In some instances, you may not be able to save the contents of each file due to your computer's configuration. Always print the form-fillable file before closing it, so you don't lose the information. If the form-fillable function is not working correctly, please try Firefox or Chrome as your browser to download the file. That usually solves the form-fillable issue. Thanks.
