Abstract
Various configurations of "clear" areas for entering information on the front and back sides of an "original" page of a two-sided form are disclosed. The page may be the original page of a self-replicating form which includes a copy page and appropriate carbonless coatings. The clear area on the front side of the original page is offset from the clear area on the back side of the original page. A method for laying out the original page of the form, such as with a computer system, to ensure offset of the front and back clear areas, is also disclosed. A method of filling out "variable" information in the offset clear areas, such as with a computer system, is also disclosed.
