Where's the Subpoena?

In an effort to prevent fraudulent use of the signatures on the subpoena, the subpoena is only available in Adobe Acrobat read-only format. The form has been fielded so you may enter information in the form if you have the Adobe Acrobat v5 reader installed. The Adobe Acrobat reader is can be installed from the main menu. For more information on installing Adobe Acrobat Reader see Running the Installation.

You must also install the Adobe Acrobat version of the forms as well. For more information on installing the Adobe Acrobat version of the forms see Running the Installation.

General Information

Many of the forms has been redesigned this year.  We have made several improvements that should allow the forms to work without spilling over onto extra pages without any problems.  The forms were designed to work with half-inch margins on every side.  This should help those whose printers have margins greater than a quarter of an inch. Because some of the forms are so packed with information some forms may require some finesse in order to fit them on one page. If you run into any problems with the forms still spilling over onto other pages, please let us know.

All the forms where designed for an HP LaserJet 4000 printer. They should work on any HP LaserJet or a compatible printer with at least a 1 megabyte of RAM.  The forms were designed at 600dpi, but should also work with 300dpi or higher. Since testing every single printer on the market is impossible, we have tried to design the forms with some room for change.  If you have any problems with any specific printers, please let us know.

If you have any questions regarding how you fill out the forms, or legal questions about the forms, you can call the State Board in Atlanta at (404) 656-3818 or 1-800-533-0682 outside the Atlanta area.  If you have any questions about form design, you can give CyberDyne a call at (678) 546-0018.

Installing Fonts

Unlike years past, this year font installation is not necessary. Any fonts that you need will be installed automatically when you install the forms.

[TOP]

Running the Installation

Unlike years past, this year installation is very simple. The CD-ROM is an autorun CD-ROM. When you place the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive, after a few moments a menu will appear (unless you've turned off autorun). The menu will guide you through the installation process and showcase some of the other products that CyberDyne Industries has available.

If the menu does not come up (you've turned off autorun), you can still manually run the installation menu.

  1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive;
  2. After about 15 seconds (enough time for your drive to read the information on the CD-ROM) if the menu has not popped up then from your Windows desktop, double click on My Computer;
  3. Find your CD-ROM drive in the list of drives;
  4. Double click on your CD-ROM drive;
  5. Double click on CDSTART.EXE.

The only thing that you need to remember when installing the forms is where you have the computer install them. Pay close attention so that you'll know where to find them and use them.

Using the Forms

When underlining was used instead of tables, a space was inserted at the beginning of the line to make it easier to insert data. By moving the insertion point to the beginning of the line or after the first space, you can type in any data that resides on that line. If the underline overextends itself onto the next line, press the delete key to remove the following tab and continue until the line is corrected.

To change a box in a form to an “X”, first highlight the box using the mouse or keyboard and type the capital letter “X”. A lower case “x” will likely put in some sort of asterisk. (Note: For the forms with Easy-Fill Fields, the spacebar or mouse click will change the box to an “X”)

If you make a mistake entering information into the forms you can undo the last change that you made to the forms from the edit menu in the Windows word processors.

Some of the forms do take savvy when entering data. Use your common sense.

If you not sure where there are tabs and/or other non-printing characters turn on the Show/Hide & button or turn it on from Tools…Options (MS Word) or check the Reveal Codes (WordPerfect).

Forms With Easy-Fill Fields

Easy-fill fields should provide you with an easy way to enter data onto the Workers' Compensation forms.  You should be able to open these up, and enter your data without any problems.  The "tab" key is used to move in between the fields.  "Tab" will move forward from field to field and the "shift" tab will move backwards from field to field.

[TOP]

Using Easy-Fill Fields

Easy-Fill fields utilize Microsoft Word’s form feature. The form defaults to being locked, but has fields that are unlocked for data input. This enables you to enter data without modifying the underlying form.

The <Tab> and arrow keys can be used to navigate through the forms. <Shift> + <Tab> can be used to navigate through the forms backwards. If you need to use a <Tab> in one of the fields, press <CTRL> + <Tab>.

In fields where there is a check box, pressing the <SPACE> bar will check the box. Clicking on the field will also check the box.

You can also use the <ENTER> key in any Easy-Fill field. For example, on Form WC-1 the hospital name and address are in one field. After typing in the name, just hit the <ENTER> key to add a new line.

If you have a mouse it helps. You can still complete all of the forms if you don’t have a mouse, but it’s the best $8 investment you can make.

Unlocking the Easy-Fill Forms

We have tried very hard to allow as much give as possible and still comply with the State Board of Workers’ Compensation guidelines for the forms. But as with most things in life, everything doesn’t always fit into a nice little box; sometimes it can take a little finesse to get things to work. If you can’t seem to get things to work and you need to change parts of the underlying form, you’ll find it helpful to view the “Forms Toolbar”. It is under View…Toolbars…Forms Toolbar in Microsoft Word.

From there you can unlock the underlying form and make any changes you need. IMPORTANT: If you unlock the form after you have entered data into the form, do not re-lock the form. If you do, you will lose any data that you have already entered into the form fields. Save the form in the unlocked setting.

[TOP]

Basic Forms Information

To fill out the basic forms should be straightforward.  Please note that most of the information is filled out through the use of tables; however, some fields use tabs.  For these fields a space was provided before the underlining begins.  This should allow you to place the insertion point in after the space but before the tab to type  in the information.  You can also delete the leading space and just type in the information.

[TOP]

Color Paper

Please note that there is nothing on the form to indicate the color of paper used to print out the form.  Included with the disks is a list of all the colors of the forms, number of pages that the forms should be, and the form title.  Please refer to this list when printing out the forms so you know what color paper the form needs to be printed on.

[TOP]

Design Notes

The forms were designed with 0.4" margins. If you have any problems with parts of pages not printing, please try shrinking the margins back to 0.5" on all sides (Word: File…Page Setup…Margins / WordPerfect: Tools…Margins) and making the proper adjustments to the form. If the forms are dumping over onto extra pages, try expanding the margins to 0.3" or 0.25" (Word: File…Page Setup…Margins / WordPerfect: Tools…Margins).

If the page looks correct on the screen, but does not print correctly, please make sure that the printer you are using has at least 1MB of RAM.

All the forms were designed for an HP LaserJet or compatible printer with at least a 1 megabyte of RAM.  Since testing every printer on the market is impossible, we have tried to design the forms with some room for change.  If you have any problems with any specific printers, please let us know.

Wherever possible, tables were used in the forms, allowing easier access when entering data into the forms. A mouse is not required, but highly recommended when entering data into the forms.

Updates

From time to time we will provide release updates to the forms to make the forms easier to use and correct some problems that may occur with formatting on specific systems. The updates will be provided for a small fee to cover shipping, materials, and handling.

To encourage the use of e-mail, some updates may be available at a reduced fee if e-mail updates are possible.

If you have a problem or suggestion to make the form easier to manipulate, please e-mail that information to support@cyberdyneindustries.com. Any e-mail that you send should have “SCProbate” in the subject header. Our e-mail system puts a priority flag on these messages. If you can, please check back to this website for up to date information on solutions to problems you may be experiencing with the forms.

No modifications to the appearance of the forms will be made.

Changes by the Probate Court are not considered updates.

Help

If you have any questions about form design, please e-mail us at support@cyberdyneindustries.com.

Support for the forms is not free. We will try to be as flexible as possible, but to keep the cost of the forms down for everyone, we did not include technical support in the cost of our product.
