I heard from some grantees last week that they ALWAYS (their emphasis, not mine) craft application responses in Word, then cut and paste into Foundant when they're ready to submit the application. They informed me that this is a best practice for grant writers to be able to share draft application responses with any staff members involved, plus a security measure to save their work.
The question/idea: on the top of an application, is it possible to allow an option to create the Question List in Word as well as the current option to create a PDF? I believe they have been creating the PDF, then converting it to Word where the text boxes appear to count the characters. Despite what I think is helpful to have the boxes and character counts, there was some interest to do away with the boxes and just include the character limit.
