Not, I daresay, when you have a paper form to fill

all the registration issues of making sure each bit of text prints out
in the correct place on the page to fall into its field on the form,
without the benefit of being able to just adjust it on-screen until it
fits.
You've obviously never used a formfiller. You need one scratch copy of
the form; stick it in the printer and the formfiller prints a grid out
onto the page. You can then use the grid numbers to tell the formfiller
where the fields are. Perfect results every time, no scanner required.
What, you think I'm going to manually type hundreds of forms when all my
information is in a database? :-)
