Been sent a form to fill in.

I've opened it. I'm in editing mode.

If I click the title (Black/underlined social communication pathway- I can edit that. I can type)

But when I try to click inside the box (child/young persons name) it just highlights the box and I can't select any thing inside.

I can't print it out sonibrelaly need to fill it in online.

Sounds like that box has been added as a picture instead of an actual editable text box.

You could ask the owner of the document to send you an editable version.

You could insert a text box over the right hand side of that box (so the existing text is still visible) and type into that.

Or you could create make an identical editable box to type in and delete the 'picture' of the text box.

Write out the form fields yourself under the text you can edit and fill it in from there?

It's because it's a .docx not a native google document.

Honestly the simplest thing to do would be print it out, fill it in and send a photo or scan.

Sorry I have just seen you can't print. Could you take it on a USB stick or bring your phone to a local library or post office? Often they have printing services for about 10p per page.
