New Exec Summary Form

[Rich Kressly]

In reader you should be able to use the text tool to select, copy the form from the .pdf file and paste in all into a blank Word Document and then save it as a .doc. I'd test that out and if it works for you, directly ask in the Q&A and email if that's acceptable.

FIRST is recognizing the problems we are having and have posted the following on their website, "We are currently working to resolve the problems encountered with the Executive Summary Form. A new form will be in place shortly. Thank you for your patience."

[Jay H 237]

"Change the document" is not available in the reader. It's only available in the full version. This is the same problem people had when FIRST released the 2004 manual. If you only have the reader and downloaded the password protected manual you had to type in the password everytime because you can't change the document and remove the password. This is why most people downloaded the manual again after they posted the nonpassword version. It would inhale audibly for FIRST to require people to purchase the full version to submit the Chairman's application.

I just opened the Exec Summary Form and it did not come up as a pdf which is good. Do we copy it and submit it as page 5 of the chairman's entry or do we attach it when we send in the 4 pages. Anyone know??

You would send it in as separate attachment.

Our executive summary will probably get tweaked a bit more, but you get the idea.

It says in the document not to restructure. We took this to mean that we could not change the font, margins, or add more than three lines to each section. However, we did add a space between each section to make it more readable. Have you asked on the Q&A if you can change margins/font?

Thanks,

No.

I took it to mean I couldn't change their font or their form, but I could use any font in my answers as long as it's not less than 10.

[KathieK]

I took it to mean that you are limited to using the space provided on the form as it is being used as a cover sheet for your submission. So it's one page in length. Font = size 10 or greater.

There is a new form posted on the FIRST site and it is a WORD file.
It is dated 1-29-04 but what I downloaded yesterday was a .pdf

I submitted our chairman's award and executive summary yesterday, and received a reply back that everything was "received and complies with all criteria". Feel free to use our executive summary already linked from this thread - it's a .doc

so does anyone know for sure if we are allowed to change the font or font size of our responses?
