cigar7 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Can anyone provide a unlocked TM8 in Word format? The one at the immigration website pops into 2 pages when one fills in the form. It should be remain at 1 page.

lopburi3 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Are you using Microsoft Word? Other programs often fail to properly page documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Did you click on Enable Editing at the top of the document? It will then switch to single page view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigar7 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Did you click on Enable Editing at the top of the document? It will then switch to single page view. Capture.JPG Yes, I enabled editing, so I can save the form on my PC with info. In subsequent years, and subsequent versions, only minor changes will be required. As stated, form pops to 2 pages as soon as I fill-in Nationality and prior fields using Word 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I just tried it on wife's laptop using office 2007 and all ok, the high-lighted areas stay high-lighted but stays as one page, hard to see about the editing option as on this computer everything in office is in Thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I get a similar problem but it does not happen until I select my month of birth because it is longer than the space on the layout. When I select a shorter month it goes back to one page. Have you by chance typed something longer than the space allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigar7 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 I get a similar problem but it does not happen until I select my month of birth because it is longer than the space on the layout. When I select a shorter month it goes back to one page. Have you by chance typed something longer than the space allowed. I even tried typing just one character into each highlight field up to and including the "middle name" or "nationality" field. When I enter "C" into the nationality field or the middle name field, at the bottom of the frame, it shows that the document is now Page 1 of 2 pages. True enough, it has gone to 2 pages, with "application field is not refundable" on the second page. Then when I type one character into "I intend to go to" field, and one character into each prior field, a second line from the form is transferred to the second page, in Thai language. I can't adjust the page size, or paragraph spacing, to retain 1 page, because the document is locked. Anybody know the password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagavulin1 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I think if you highlight ALL the text in the offending fields you can right click and reduce the font size on that input field. Also if you are in a modern word you can save as .pdf, open the pdf then go into the print settings before printing. Option exists to reduce size and print as one page. Once sorted remember to save a copy and next year its easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigar7 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Attached is a revised edition of the TM8, that doesn't exhibit the overflow to a second page if completed. The top margin was adjusted, barely noticeable from the previous locked edition. Try it and let me know if there are any issues or problems.

cigar7 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Someone reported the previous version of TM8 still jumped to 2 pages. Attached is a new revised edition. Please let me know if this one jumps to 2 pages when it is completed with your info. TM8ThaiVisaV2.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you know it contained true genuine personal details? It did NOT contain genuine true personal details! So many mind readers and "know it all" people. The attachment had simulated data, not true private data. Here is the form again, so you can see it jumps to 2 pages. tm8fromThaiVisa14Dec2015.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not mind readers and had no way of knowing it wasn't true personal data as you didn't mention it. I modified it with a change in margins so see how this works. tm8fromThaiVisa14Dec2015.docx BTW, I can not replicate the 2 page issue when using the downloaded form on Thaivisa and entering pseudo information. The one you supplied does show two pages as the 1st page overflows the last line into a 2nd page. So not clear exactly why it is behaving that way for you.
