Fast and Easy Template Creation Using the “Word Add-On” Tab

We all have our favorite forms, letters, documents, and pleadings that we save on our desktop or in our c-drive for quick access. The problem is that we always have to customize the pleading to fit the case on which we are presently working:

The problem with that process is that:

• All relevant data must be replaced every time you want to use your form for a different case: Names, dates, venue, incident information, facts of the case. This is extremely time consuming.
• The margin for error is high since you may miss the replacement of a name/date/some other case-specific-fact somewhere within your form.

With SmartAdvocate^® this process has been eliminated. You will no longer have these worries. All you have to do—and you only need to do this once—is:

• Open your form in Word.
• Click on the SmartAdvocate^® “Word-Add-On” tab.

Replace the relevant information: plaintiff information, Court information, defendant information, incident fact information, etc. with the merge code that has already been created for you. This is accomplished with one click.

• Select “Save As” and give your form a name, a category, and a subcategory.
• Save

Your favorite letter, form, pleading, or document is now available to you and to your firm in your template folder, all without the hassle of having to re-invent the wheel or having to search for forms on your desktop or c-drive.

SmartAdvocate^® allows you to have uniformity at a higher level firm-wide.
