Premium Pro Typewriter

The Typewriter feature allows the user to add custom text to a form by typing directly on the return. Any custom text added to a form by the user will also print.

Steps to add Custom Text to a Return

1. Open a return and view the desired page.
2. Click the Typewriter Icon on the standard toolbar or go the Tools menu and select Comment & Markup and Typewriter.
3. Click in an open area (white space) on the page to insert a field and begin typing.

Delete or Move Custom Text

To delete custom text on a form, right click on the typewriter field and select delete.

To change the location of an existing typewriter field, select the field and then right click on the text and select move. Place the typewriter text in the desired location and click to affix the text to that location on the form.

You may run into an occurrence when you have more than one markup tool overlapping on a single field or location on a return. When you right click on the area, the menu for the wrong tool may show up. To switch to the tool options you want to access, use Alt + right click.

 

Change the Font and Size

To change the font and size of the text, select the desired typewriter field, right click, and choose Change Font. Or, click on the arrow next to the typewriter icon on the tool bar and select Change Typewriter Attributes.

On the Font Chooser screen, you can select Arial, Courier New, or Times New Roman. You can also adjust the font size from 8 to 72.

Copy and Paste

To copy the typewriter field, right-click on the typewriter field and select Copy. You may then right-click on other areas, pages, and returns and choose Paste Typewriter.

Rollover

If you’d like the typewriter field to rollover to the next product year, right-click and choose Set to rollover. If you later decide the field does not need to rollover, right-click on the field and choose deselect Rollover.
