Moving the questionnaire to the scanning computer
You do not have to format the questionnaire on the computer that is going to be used to scan the completed questionnaires. However, when these tasks are performed on different computers, it is recommended that you follow this procedure.
These instructions assume that if you are using the Word option to attach a template, it is accessible on both computers.
On the formatting computer
1 Create the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper document in the normal way by loading the questionnaire definition.
2 Apply Looks and any other formatting.
3 From the Tools menu in Word, choose Options.
4 On the Save tab, select Embed TrueType fonts, and then click OK.
5 Save the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper document; for example, as myDocument.doc.
6 Copy the document (myDocument.doc) to the scanning machine.
7 Make a note of the margin and paper size settings so that you can check that they are the same on the scanning computer.
On the scanning computer
1 Open the document (myDocument.doc) in UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper.
If the questionnaire definition (.mdd) file is not accessible on this machine using the path that was used on the formatting machine, UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper will display a message and give you the option to browse to the file. If the questionnaire definition file is not accessible over the network, you must copy it to the scanning machine and then use this option to specify its location.
2 If UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper asks you if you want to update the document to use the current Looks, select No.
3 Ensure that the paper size and margins are the same as on the formatting computer.
4 Insert the scanning control fields. You must do this on the scanning machine, even if you already did it on the formatting computer.
5 Run the Transfer to Scanning Software command and open the job in ReadSoft FORMS Manager.
