Our major achievement over the past three months, at customer request, has been the completion of the process of removing the questions for the Judicial Council and local forms, enabling you to go directly to the form during an assembly session. Other changes include:

• Business Transactions Solution - We completely re-organized this volume. The form selector numbers and links to Westlaw were changed to match the updated source material. We also removed two forms that were no longer available.
• Federal Criminal Defense – We updated numerous Administrative Office of the U.S. forms and state forms and removed forms that are no longer valid.
• Certified Mailer feature - We updated the Certified Mailer feature for the new postage rates that were effective in April.

Q: Staff members advise that the HUD-1 form in ProDoc is not user friendly. It appears that you can go through the motions to fill out the form, however, you are not able to save it in a format in which you can go back to make changes and have it recalculate. The form is saved in a .pdf format. When changes have to be made, they have to re-enter ALL of the information again. Are they not using the program properly or is this correct? If this is correct, can ProDoc fix this issue?
