A BRIEF NOTE ON ENTERING DATA IN THE FORMS
You can prepare your text in MS Word bur you cannot directly copy-and-paste it in the form. MS Word creates (hidden) formatting codes that cannot be displayed in the on-line forms. These hidden codes have to be removed from MS Word file. There are two ways to do it:Copy your text into Notepad and from Notepad, paste the text into the form (this is the preferred way). To copy and paste, mark the original text and use control-C to copy. Place the cursor in the form and use control-V to paste the text.
Or use the filter (icon eraser + W) in the Editor to clean the text of MS Word formatting. You may need to remove empty lines.
New data are first "Inserted" in the form. For all subsequent entries, use "Update".
In areas where multiple entries are allowed, there will be a button "Add New". Once finished with entries, use "Continue". If there are no entries, use "Cancel".
Applications will be available on-line for editing until the deadline date - Midnight, EST (Eastern Standard Time, Montreal time).
