Welcome to Ken
Purscell’s Page
I assume that you are here for
the 2006 Charge Conference forms in .pdf (Adobe Reader) format. Great! Here are some words of advice:
- Some of these are pretty big files. Sorry about that, but form fields
take a lot of space. Download
what you need.
- I only have a few forms yet. I’m trying to put out the
ones I need earliest and some of the more complicated ones. This is an ongoing project; if you
don’t see what you need, come back later. Better yet, email me with suggestions for the next
forms to transform or for corrections to forms already worked.
- You really ought to have Adobe Reader on your
computer. If not, go to www.adobe.com and download it. It’s free.
- Some of the fields in these forms do the
calculations for you! Most of
those fields you cannot change.
If you’re getting the wrong results, let me know.
- The Parsonage form has a little quirk to
it. Some of the Yes/No entries
are now check boxes. Some
other fields will let you choose between “Good,”
“Fair,” and “Poor.” If you know enough computer skills
to download the files, I’m gonna guess you can figure out how to use
these fields. (And no, there
wasn’t enough room for the entry “It was good enough for
Pastor Such-and-Such and thirteen other ministers after him, so it’s
got to be good enough for you!”)
- Sadly, you cannot save or email the finished
forms. But you can
print them out, and that’s the reason why I’m doing this: so
you can type them up and format them so they look good! (OK, so I
could do this, but I’ll let you do it too.) P.S., you didn’t really want
to email them because then they would be unsigned!!! (Breaking
news 9/19: I just found a freeware .pdf reader that will actually save
these files as forms so you can come back to them! The program is very small,
“Foxit Reader 2.0”.
The website is here. Thank you, Conference web page for
pointing me to it.)
- The fields that need percentages need to be typed
with the decimal equivalent and Adobe will convert it to the
percentage. Thus, if you enter
“0.60” it will print as “60%”. Even better, it will calculate
subsequent calculation fields correctly. The first few times I tried this, I
wondered why Looking Glass was supposed to contribute over $1 million to
health care.
- If you have any questions, problems, comments,
or suggested corrections, email me as above. I can’t promise immediate
responses, but I will try.
Enough chit-chat. Here are the forms. Click the link to see the form in your
browser (you can then save a copy) or right-click and choose “Save
as…” to download it:
Have fun. Oh, and if you’d like a little
music, take a look here.
