InternetForms^® Viewer is a commercial software program by PureEdge Solutions, Inc. that allows the user to fill in a form template electronically. The viewer also allows the form template and your data to be saved together as a single file which can be later updated, or exchanged with others.

System Requirements

• Pentium 133 processor, Recommended Pentium 200
• Windows 95/98, NT, 2000, XP
• 24mb of RAM; Recommended 32mb
• Disk space: 20mb for installation; 10mb are used.
• A laser or inkjet printer. The software has been tested using HP LaserJet^® printers. However, users should print a blank copy of the form to insure that their printer is compatible.

Note: It is highly recommended that users set their screen area to no less than 800 x 600 pixels.

Installation of the Viewer and the OGE 450 Template

The viewer is 3.4mb. Download time will vary depending on the speed of your connection and Internet traffic. It can take up to 15 minutes to download the viewer using a 56K modem.

Using the Viewer and Template

Begin by double-clicking on the OGE450.xfd file. The viewer opens automatically. The toolbar buttons are explained below, but first a working copy of the form should be made by saving the template with a different name. Press the save button on the toolbar (with a disk icon), and a Save Form window will open. Type in a new file name and press Save.

The first three pages of the form template consist of instruction pages with information on how to complete the form. The fillable portion of the OGE Form 450 follows the instructions pages. To begin filling out a particular field, place the cursor in your field of choice and double click. To move forward to the next field, use the Tab key. Use the Shift and Tab keys together to move backward. The viewer also has a number of "Menu" buttons described below:

Open	Open a form template.
Close	Close the current form.
Save	Save the current form. Both Close and Save prompt you to save changes and allow you to rename a file. Users should avoid overwriting their original blank OGE Form 450 template by renaming each new version of the form they create. Due to the confidential nature of the information provided on the OGE Form 450, those completing the form on a government computer may wish to save the information on a floppy disk instead of a network drive or a hard drive.
Print	Print the current form.
Mail	Currently disabled in the OGE 450 template.
Preferences	Currently disabled in the OGE 450 template.
Check Spelling	Check the spelling of the current item; disabled if the page has no fillable items.
Check All Spelling	Checks the spelling of the entire form.
Help	Currently disabled in the OGE 450 template.
About	Information about PureEdge/InternetForms®.
Back, Forward	Multiple forms may be opened; these buttons allow for movement between forms.

The complete InternetForms^® Software User's Manual is available in Adobe Acrobat^® format. Please note that certain functionalities described in the Users Manual have been intentionally disabled within the OGE Form 450 template.

In addition to the "Menu" buttons described above, a number of "Tool Bar" buttons have been added to the template. Some of these buttons appear on every page of the template. Others appear only on certain pages.

Previous	Go to previous page.
Next	Go to next page.
Instructions	Go to first page of instructions.

Things You Should Know

• Please note that InternetForms^® Viewer does not have a "zoom in" or "zoom out" function.
• To advance a page within the form template, you must hit the Next button. The cursor will not automatically take you forward after you have filled out the last field on a page.
• This template contains a number of check boxes (see "Reporting Status," "Special Government Employee," and the various "None" boxes). As you tab through the fillable template, you will notice only a subtle indication that you have reached a check box (i.e. a darkening of the check box border). To put a check mark [ü] in a check box, hit the Space Bar or place your cursor on the box and click.
• The maximum number of lines in the fillable Part I, "Asset and Income Sources" fields is two lines (or approximately 120 characters). If the name of an asset or income source takes the user more than two lines to describe, then the user should move the cursor to the text box below, click on it, and continue describing the asset or income.
• Users should avoid overwriting their original blank OGE Form 450 templates by renaming each new version of the form they create. The file name should not exceed eight characters. A good example of a title is 450FY99.
