How to fill in an email form?

[singist]

I'm old and stupid so please help:

I've just been sent an email that is a form to fill in and return ...... but how do I write/type onto the form? I must be missing something here .... I'm sure that there is an easy way to do this but can't see how, any pointers would be most appreciated.

Ta.

are they not wanting you to print it out and fill it in? If not what file type is it?

This.

Or you could print it out, fill it in by hand then scan it onto your pc and then send it back.

So print it out, fill in by hand, scan and attach back to email? ........ sounds very long winded.
If I look at properties, it says HTML document but I presume that all emails say that?

I can't just put the cursor in the relevant position and type, which is what I was expecting so, ideas please.

Bump:


Any more serious suggestions?

Print the form as a PDF, fill it in with your pdf writing tools, send it back?

I imagine they epect you to print it and fill it in though, probably requires a signature?

Is it an actual attachment or is it just as an e-mail?
Just copy and paste the sections into a new e-mail and return that way if it is just questions in an e-mail.

I would normally expect to print it out and send it back by snail mail. What format did they send it to you in?

Sent as an email...... this is the top part:

please can you answer the questions in the Work Enquiry Form below and email it back to us, and attach a copy of your CV


The form cannot be edited or written on as it is and if I copy it and paste it to notepad, the format is all wrong.

No idea how I'm supposed to do it without print/fill in/scan/attach, which cannot be right........ can it?

Ahhh the old ingenuity test.

I doubt that's what they're after but it's hard to say without seeing it. If you can remove any sensitive bits from the e-mail and forward me the form, I can have a look at it for you if you want - email in trust.

Take a screenshot of the page and edit the text into it with GIMP/PS/Paint.net or so.

You say the format is wrong if you paste it into notepad, so what if you create a new email and paste it there? Should be fine then.

I was filling out a form yesterday that the instructions said to fill in and email back. But I needed to sign it

So I just printed it off and filled it in with ink, I'm going to post it.
