<p>How do you fill out college application forms by typing instead of handwriting the information? I've heard that it looks nicer if you type on your application instead, but I don't know how.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Typewriter?</p>
<p>Get adobe acrobat professional (trial edition) and make text boxes.</p>
<p>You can also scan them and just use plain old Paint on your computer (or whatever basic drawing/painting program your comp is equipped with) to fill in the blanks. It really isn't that hard. I did it for my teacher recs, but filled out my apps online.</p>
<p>Do the online app and print it out to send by mail if you're not comfortable with online submission (though there really isn't a reason not to be...it's so easy). Many schools also have PDF versions of their apps online for you to download.</p>
<p>Photoshop works well because it can open PDFs</p>
