Microsoft windows operating systems allow you to quickly save pictures from any source to a folder or directory on your computer or network drives (most computer users default these pictures to a folder or directory called My Pictures located under My Documents directory/folder). vForms requires these pictures to be saved in a ".JPG (j-peg) file format to be viewed and printed to our vForms Flyers. As you know, it is customary to have real estate agents list their homes and personal pictures on their company or personal websites.

The following are general instructions to access these pictures and save them to your computer so they can be used with InterActive vForms:

Step One: Saving pictures from websites to your computer:

1. Sign onto the Internet using your Internet provider or double click on the Big Blue "e" (Internet Explorer) icon on your desktop.
2. Go the Internet site for your real estate agent or his/her website (most sites will show the homes listed and the agent's individual picture).
3. Place your curser over the picture and Right-Click your mouse.
4. Left-Click on Save Picture AS...
5. The name field will be highlighted; change the file name to an appropriate title (Such as Home1) and click on "SAVE".
6. Follow this same procedure and select the Agent's picture and your own picture. If the website does not have these pictures, you can use a digital camera or secure pictures from other sources in a ".JPG" extension computer file. Many software programs such as "Paint" can convert other picture file formats into a ".JPG" file to be used by InterActive vForms.

Step Two: Selecting pictures to be used with your Real Estate Financing vForms Flyers:

1. Open your InterActive vForms by double clicking the vForms icon on your desktop.
2. Click on "Tools".
3. Click on "Picture - House": This will open a viewing directory box. Change this directory to the directory or folder you selected to archive your picture files; a My Pictures folder was recommended above. The saved pictures will be displayed.
4. Click (highlight) the appropriate picture ".JPG" file. The photo of this picture will be displayed for your viewing.
5. Click "Open" -- this will load this picture into vForms and return you to InterActive vForms.
6. Click "Tools" -- You will see a check mark next to "Picture - House". This indicates the House Picture has been loaded.
7. Follow the same procedures to complete the process for "Picture - Agent" and "Picture - Rep".

Step Three: Creating and Editing your Real Estate Financing Flyers:

1. Click on one or both of the real estate flyers available in your library of InterActive vForms.
2. Select the "Print" or "Send" icons in vForms - this will give you the ability to print or email these flyers.
3. If you selected "Print", the form(s) will appear on the screen. Maximize these forms by clicking on the maximize box on the top right of your Adobe screen.
4. Add or edit any of the data on the flyer. You can move your mouse over the flyer. The flyer is programmed to turn gray on any fields or areas you can change. Print the form(s) by clicking on the printer icon on the top of the page. Change your printer to print these forms on 81/2" by 11" paper.
5. If you elected the "Send" or "email" icon, your vForms will appear with the last page of the file showing a blue/green box that has the word "SEND". On the left side of the page, you will see the word "origination" with a box to left left with a + sign. Click this box and your file(s) and a submit will appear in the bookmark area.
6. Click the form you wish to edit in the "Bookmarks Area" at the left of the page.
7. Edit or change the property and agent information in the form. If the pictures did not load into the flyer, perform the procedures outlined in STEP TWO above and make sure there are check marks next to the "House, Agent, Rep" in "Tools" option.
8. After you have edited the flyer(s), click on the word "Submit" in the Bookmarks area to the left of the page and a blue/green "SEND" box will appear, click select this SEND BOX.
9. Current InterActive vForms version will show you a "vForms Send Option Screen" next.
10. This screen will show any forms or documents in the left box you have printed using our NEW vForms PDF Print Driver.
11. The real estate flyer(s) you have created will be shown in the right box on this screen.
12. In the PDF Encryption Box, You can elect to password protect this file by typing in a password. REMEMBER - this password is case sensitive. You can also "Check" the box "Enable Field Changes In Form" to allow your clients to edit this flyer when they receive your flyer via email.
13. Click "OK" and your completed flyer will be placed in a PDF file and added to your outgoing email system. AOL users: This PDF file will be generated and sent to your "Download" subdirectory under your AOL program files. Attach this file to your AOL email and send it using your AOL email system.
