fill in the blanks

[davo]

I'm a newbie with Windows Home XP SP2. I hope i can explain my question
clearly.
I have several generic forms that have blank spaces to be filled in with
name, address, other info, etc. I don't want to fill in the blanks by
writing in long hand, and I don't have a typewriter. How can I do this?
Thanks any/everybody
Dave

Thanks Carey----I was hoping for a freebie program, since what i need is for
personal use, not business use. (Those software products are way out of my
league!!) Is there anything is MS Word or MS Works that would help me?
Thanks again

One of the things you can do is to scan the form, and set it as a background
in Word, then carefully place fields on the page. You may find it less
work to fill them in manually, or to seek electronic versions of the forms.
