Information on good form design for printed forms?

I've replied to Elizabeth nut this may link to the Communication
Research of Australia may well be of more general interest.

They've done a lot of work on form design (among other things) - I
remember reading a paper by them about re-designing a tax form for the
Australian government that was _longer_ than the original but, because
of the design, was quicker to input and saved $100,000s for the
government.
This was a few years ago now and all their articles etc were free to
download. They were in the process of re-jigging their site so this may
not be the case now; I think they were moving towards providing samples
and then the rest to those that 'paid'.
