Here is a form that I have revised over the years. I also have one for right to left texts. After the form I have added one of the macro files listed at the top of the form:

% [FORM_PLAIN_[xetex].tex   



% This a form that I have created over the years. Users will want to make adjustments,

%       especially to dimensions. Note in particular that pdfpageheight and pdfpagewidth 

%       as well as hsize, vsize and the PSTRICKS form (after bye) are given in inches. 

%       The reasom for this is because the paper that I use is

%       "8.5 in x 11.0 in" ("letter"). Other measurements are in cm and points.



%    That is the advantage of having a personally designed form 

%       sheet and macro files which can be easily modified and added to.

%

%    Because this is a presentation form I have added explanations

%    !! indicates that this is a dimension etc. that you should consider changing
