Not a fan. Filling in the WI RE transfer return was simple enough. However, it downloaded as a DOR file and I can't find a program to open it. So, I have no way to print the form to complete the process.

You could make instructions clearer on the download process and when download is complete. You could also group things together for 1 or 2 "big" downloads.
