Here is my problem. I get stuff all the time, anything from some kind
of application to my banks deposit slip. I always wanted a way to be
able to print onto these forms without to much of a hassle. So for
example. Here is a picture of my banks deposit slip.

Eveytime I go to the bank, I have to manually write everything in with
a pen. Which gets old after a while. Then on the back of the slip I
have to write all the checks in  by hand. My writing is horrible, so
not only would it be faster to print into these spaces, but it would
look nicer and be more accurate.

So my question is, what is the easiest way to print onto this slip or
any other kind of document without spending 2 hours in ms word to get
everything to line up.  I have a scanner, I don?t know if that would
help. I could always scan it and fill it out and re-print it. But I
want to print onto the original document, not a copy or a scan. So how
do I fill something like this out easily? I want to be able to pull up
the computer and just start typing in the numbers. So like have a
picture of the slip on screen and somehow make those boxes so you can
type in them, yet still print on the original document and get
everything to line up.  Keep in mind I come across things like this
all the time, but I just never really had a good way of doing it. When
I have done it in the past, I have just played with ms word to get the
alignment right. There must be a better way.
Thx

There is a product on the market called "OmniForms."  I have used it
to take any sort of form and essentually computerize it.  In that way
you can bring up the form in your computer and using all the tools
available by the computer, fill out the form.  (Tab to the next field,
remember the last entry, add do math, etc.).  It works great - HOWEVER
- there is a learning curve.  Once you finished filling out the form
you can then print out a perfect copy, as well as store the finished
form on your computer for your records.  Although it should be easy,
you still have to spend time initially.

Here's the deal.  OmniForms is software application that allows you to
scan forms in, creates a replica of the form with all its lines, text
and graphics, and sets up a database for the form.  It has all the
tools you need to move lines, create fields, create graphics, etc. 
Once the form is finished, you can bring it up any time and use the
computer to easily fill in the form.

I did all this for my wife who is a psychologist.  She needed to fill
out the same riduculous complex form for the insurance company every
time she saw a patient.  Even the same patient.  She used to have to
use white out, etc.  Now with the form computerized it is easy.  And
the form looks and feels exactly like the original official form
because OmniForm scanned it all in.  Also as I mentioned, the form is
a database so it remembers all the information you placed in the
fields before, making it easy to just make the necessary changes,
print, or email, etc.
