Cannot enter the full address in DS-230/DSP-122

I am trying to fill out the forms DS-230/DSP-122 by typing in my computer. I downloaded the forms from the travel.state.gov website. The problem that I am facing is, in the 'ADDRESS' box, it doesn't let me enter more than 30 characters, so I can type only upto street address, not the full address. Any idea how to type the full adress?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi. If you have Adobe Acrobat (the full version, not just Adobe Reader), you can possibly edit the form and change the font size so that more characters will fit in the space. Some government forms are locked and difficult to edit, though. I wouldn't worry about it too much and would just write out the rest neatly by hand. These forms are not supposed to be judged based on aesthetic quality (just as long as the handwriting is legible).

Good luck to all.

Thanks, researcher29. Actually, my handwriting is pretty neat, but wasn't sure if that would be a good thing to do. After reading your input, I would go for handwritten forms.

Are you talking about DS-230 box 13 or boxes 17 and 18 and DSP-12 7c?

One thing that you could try if you have Acrobat Writer (I did this when I was filling I-485) is find where you can reduce the fonts size for those particular boxes, so more symbols will fit.
 
I think your best bet is to print the application and fill it using your handwriting.Only ensure that you have a good scan work of the application.
Inorderwords,ensure that the soft copy you are submitting shows clearly all your details.

best of lucks :) :) :)

Yes, I am talking about the boxes you mentioned.

I was using Adobe Acrobat Professional and it didn't let me reduce font size.

Thanks, Alinco. After wasting a fair amount of time, I have decided to fill out the forms with my nice and neat handwriting :) .
