whomper Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 At my job we get a lot of accounts that send us these blank information forms that we need to fill out and email back them them with information about the specific fabric they request. Many companies complain because we usually print it out and fill it in by hand then scan and email it back. A lot of these people dont want it hand written they want it typed. We have no one here that knows how to type into a document right from your computer that someone sends you as an attached file . Can someone help me out ? Is there a program we can download or a way we can get this done that isnt very technical ? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 What kind of file are they sending you? Word? PDF? If it's Word... well, that should be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a Word document, it's easy - save it off to your hard drive, fill it in, save it and send it as an attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefjay Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yes its a word doc...sometimes they are xl files. I find it hard to believe that none of you guys knew how to do this. But then again you are sales. I do hate editing in word format though; can be a pain in the asz sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
