Step 5- The Catalog Toolkit is essential to the project by and provides links to the lexicons/dictionaries you will need to complete the data.
Step 6 Before you begin entering data. Save the PDF form to your desktop or a portable thumb drive (highly recommended). IMPORTANT: The form does not save the data automatically therefore SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! Computers are machines and fail frequently, so...... as you go along.. I recommended that you print a hardcopy of your work to be safe.
Once you have saved your catalog form, then you may open it and begin to enter the information i.e. data directly in the PDF or WordFile catalog form
