Why our forms for bank transfer seem somewhat odd on download; & as you fill-in.
The forms thanks to feedback will be improved in an ongoing way. Please report IF you CANNOT OPEN a form.
They presently seem strange to fill-in, but will hopefully be OK. Please report any problem.
Constructive suggestion appreciated.
This payment method - an innovation - results in different appearance of the forms on various devices.

To explain further for those perhaps interested - Preparation uses "open" software (Open Office) on a MacBook.
Web-browsers used for this website are "Chrome" & "Safari". A majority of forms are likely to be opened in "Internet Explorer" on
a PC, so conversion into a Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) format is presently on trial.
Suggestions of any alternative allowing the form to be readily filled in on a large Android handset would be appreciated,
as would reports of effectiveness of the forms on iPhone and iPad.
