Do you find yourself making the same edits to the final draft of specific ProDoc generated-documents time after time?

If yes, ProDoc contains a great feature that will save you lots of time in the future. You can easily add to or modify language in a ProDoc master form to personalize the form to your firm. You can also change the formatting of the form. The advantage of doing this by modifying the master form is that you ensure that all future documents produced from the form will include the changes. While this is an advanced feature, it’s still simple to do—no programming expertise required.
