In ways its harder to use, does not put signs in for you and does not calculate for you like the regular form.. but this is the only way I can save my form and make copies and edit it so this kind of saved me a ton of time!

IT HAS SOME TREAKY THINGS AND AT SOME POINT IF IT IS NOT PRINTED OR SAVE BEFORE HAND, YOU HAVE TO REPEAT THE WORK ALREADY DONE. IN THIS CASE, HAS BEEN A LITTLE UNPLEASANT SITUATION AND WASTE OF TIME, IT SHOULD HAVE SOME AUTOMATIC SAVING, AS IT OCCURS IN WORD.
