The Oklahoma Report Form
Creating tables in spreadsheet programs• Advantages:• It is not necessary to “build” the table from scratch• The program will perform calculations (total the data)
the information for you in most situations
• Disadvantages:• The default font is Arial 10. If the font is not changed to
Times New Roman, Arial or Courier 12, the font will be too small and the book will be disqualified• The table will not automatically be sized to fit inside the
text box – several adjustments may be necessary

ORF/Computer Incompatibility
Solution: Advantages Disadvantages
Regenerate (retype) the whole form
No need to work around limitations of text boxes
Duplicating formatting and margins may be difficult
Create a blank document with margins slightly larger than the text box and put information into new document. Copy and paste the information into the ORF
It is not necessary to recreate the whole formFormatting may be easier in a blank document than it is in the ORF template
It may take several tries to get the margins exactly right
