Most of the forms and documents available for download from this page are in Adobe PDF format. You can download the most recent version of Adobe Reader, the software needed to view PDFs, for free from Adobe's Web site. Other files found here are Microsoft Word files (.doc), generic RTF (Rich Text Format) files, or ZIP files (which contains other formats, compressed to speed and simplify downloading).
To view Word documents you will need Microsoft Word (97 or later) or Word Viewer. ZIP files can be opened and extracted with Winzip and many other programs. RTFs can be opened in MS Word as well as many other text editors.
You can save any of these files by right clicking on the link and selecting "Save Link As..." Word, RTF and PDF documents contain much of the formatting of the original printed form or documentation.
