    I remember somebody mentioning about being able to type directly into the DYS application. I tried to look up that threat, but I think it expired already.
    Is there a way, that I could type directly into it?
    Appreciate any ideas.
    thank you

    I remember that some people could do this if they had the full version of Adobe (expensive). I just ended up copying and pasting all the app questions into a Word document. Good luck!

    Thanks Cathy,
    I thought of that, but it does not allow for too much space within the discussion questions. I guess it depends how detailed one gets.

    I would have done that, but my handwriting is about as legible as my DS5's!

    That is what I would have to do too. My writing is not the best, so to speak.
    LOL

    I don't think that they would mind if you printed out the application and did all the answering into a word document that you could print out and mail in with the form with only 'name/adress/birthday' filled in and signatures.

    I don't know for sure, but who wouldn't rather read a word document than my handwriting?

    Best Wishes,
    Grinity
