InterActive vForm users can create

lenders by a simple click of your mouse. RTF stands for "Rich Text Format" which
is a word file saved under a special formatting.
We have included five pre-programmed RTF
files in your standard vForms library. They will be located under the forms
heading "RTF Documents" found in the right side of vForms under your library of
vForms. These five RTF forms are named:
- Attached E.A.R.S. Form Instructions
