Online
Electronic Forms
http://www.etsu.edu/humanres/forms/forms.htm
These forms can be
completed at your computer using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your
computer, the software can be downloaded by clicking on the Adobe Acrobat
Reader icon on the web page.
To determine if you
already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer:
Click
on one of the forms listed on the forms web page. If you already have Acrobat Reader, you will be able to view
(or open) the form. If you do not
have Acrobat Reader, you will get some other kind of error window or message.
To
Install Adobe Acrobat Reader:
1. Visit this website: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and click "Download". When you click, you may get a pop-up window that asks if you want to Run the program. Click "Run".
2. After downloading this file, minimize (or close)
your browser window. You should have a
new icon on your Windows Desktop. You
can then double-click on this icon to install Adobe Acrobat Reader.
This will take just a few minutes to install and requires the user to
provide input by clicking on the NEXT button when appropriate.
3. When the installation finishes, you will be prompted to
re-boot the machine. This is not
a necessity and can be done later. From
this point forward, Adobe Acrobat Reader is on your machine and you will know
longer have to install it.
4. The first time you try to access one of the forms (or any .pdf
file), you will have to accept the terms of the license agreement.
Following your one-time acceptance of the license agreement, the
computer will automatically open Adobe Acrobat Reader and display your
file. From this point on, any .pdf
file, including these forms, should automatically open for you.
If you have any problems
or questions when downloading Acrobat Reader, please call the OIT help desk at
x4648.

Electronic Form:
|
NOTE: These
forms can be completed and printed using your personal computer and
Adobe Reader. They
cannot be completed using ANY word processing software such as
WordPerfect or Microsoft Word. The
forms must be completed using Acrobat Reader. |
While on the internet,
click on the desired form.
After clicking, either:
a) the computer will
automatically open Adobe Acrobat Reader and you will be able to immediately
view the form, or;
b) you will be prompted to
either OPEN or SAVE the file.
** If prompted as in #2,
choose open the file. Once you
can see the form, click on FILE, and then click on SAVE AS.
1. The computer will then ask you where you want to save the
file. The file can be saved in
any location you want, but be sure to remember where you saved it.
The file name can be changed but do not change the file extension (.pdf).
2. After saving the .pdf file on your computer, you can then
open the file by going to either MY COMPUTER, WINDOWS EXPLORER, or by opening
Adobe Acrobat Reader and then opening the desired file.
3. Once opened in Acrobat Reader, the form can be completed with
input from you keyboard. Using
the mouse, click in the desired fields (blanks) and enter the appropriate
information. Treat the file as
you would any word processing document. It
can be printed when finished. Be
sure to save on your computer or on floppy disk.
NOTES (about above
electronic form):
Use the TAB key to move forward
from blank to blank and SHIFT+TAB to move backwards through the form...
Some entries are check boxes and
require the mouse be used to check (or uncheck) the box...
Upon completing a page of
entries, the TAB won't take you to the next page. Use the mouse to click the scroll arrows to move to next
page, then continue entering data into the blanks as before.
The mouse is always used to move to the next page...
After the file has been
completed, save the file with a different name than the original.
This will allow you to keep a copy of the blank form stored on your
computer for future use...
Please call Human Resources at
