Yep. If you notice, some of the stock forms (like the ICS213,<br>
radiogram, etc) have a nice "printable" version. This is accessed by<br>
opening a form of that type and clicking the printable button at the<br>
bottom. Here is a contrived example I just saved:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://d-rats.danplanet.com/screenshots/ics213_form.html" target="_blank" mce_href="http://d-rats.danplanet.com/screenshots/ics213_form.html">http://d-rats.danplanet.com/screenshots/ics213_form.html</a><br>
<br>
The printable button translates the form into HTML, which can be<br>
tailored to represent the look and feel of the original paper form. To<br>
do this, an XSL stylesheet is required. The stock forms have one, but<br>
any form you create gets a relatively ugly default stylesheet (which, by<br>
the way, really could be better than it is).<br>
<br>
If you can send me the form you've created, as well as a PDF or scanned<br>
image of the real form it represents, I can see about spending a little<br>
time on a stylesheet for it that will make it a little more attractive.<br>
<br>
Also, if you have a general-purpose form that other people could use, by<br>
all means, send it to me and I'll include it in the distribution.<br>
