With the first version you may have to download the form first then open it in order to fill in the fields. If this doesn't work for you the plain text versions can be filled in using Acrobat Reader: click on "Fill in form fields" in the tools menu, then click in the appropriate place on the form and type into the box which pops up. As a last resort, print it, fill it in by hand and scan or photograph it. And computers are supposed to make our lives easier!
