ProDoc Updates

2010 Updates
We will provide our usual legislative update shipments in June and in September for new legislation effective July 1, 2010 and October 1, 2010 respectively. We will also provide the end of 2010 FLSSI¹ updates.

And, we will continue our commitment to provide you updates to ProDoc forms as agency changes and case law changes dictate. We will also ship form changes we make as a result of customer suggestions and enhancements we make in both ProDoc and our automated forms.

February WebUpdates
The WebUpdates we released in February were:

• Mortgage Foreclosures - We revised the Complaint and Final Judgment of Foreclosure forms pursuant to a Florida Supreme Court decision. We also added three new forms: a Summons for state-wide use and Final Judgments of Foreclosure for both Miami-Dade and Hillsborough counties.
• Litigation - We updated a statutory cite in the Statutory PIP Demand letter.
• Family Law – We updated the Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent, form 8332, pursuant to an IRS revision. We also replaced the Order Appointing Parenting Coordinator form by the new Order of Referral to Parenting Coordinator (new from the Florida Supreme Court). Finally, we added the new Response by Parenting Coordinator form and revised the Motion to Appoint Parenting Coordinator form.

March WebUpdates
At the time of writing this WebNotes we had not finalized our update plans for March. We will apprise you here next month of WebUpdates we publish this month.

Q: Our office primarily uses Macs. However, I have two PCs on the network just to run ProDoc. How close are you to offering the Mac version? Is there any chance that we could try-out the Mac prototype before it is offered to the public? If not, would ProDoc run properly on a Mac using the PC compatibility software?
A: A version of ProDoc that runs natively on a Mac is at least two years away. However, we have recently completed testing of using ProDoc on a Microsoft® Windows® operating system running on Parallels Desktop® for Mac and we recommend that as an interim option for Mac users.

Q: I have changed my main computer. How do I transfer all my ProDoc stuff onto it?
A: While it is a pretty easy process to do so, we recommend that you call our Tech Support team (it is free) at 800-759-5418, option 3, and ask for assistance. That person will assist you with the data transfer from your old computer to your new one and will also assist you if you need help with registering ProDoc on your new computer.

Q: When will you have immigration forms?
A: An immigration volume is on our radar but there are no immediate plans to develop one. So, we cannot give you a definitive answer on when to expect this volume.

Q: My question is whether the updates (when uploaded) will automatically change the existing documents for each case? When I open the document and indicate "update", I do not see a change.
A: When WebUpdate updates your ProDoc and your ProDoc volumes, it only updates the form templates. It does not in any way affect any documents you have already generated and saved as finished word processor or PDF documents.

Q: I do not recall getting the December CD update for ProDoc. How can I tell if it is installed?
A: After you open ProDoc, look in the extreme upper left corner of your monitor. If your ProDoc is current you will see ProDoc version 5.27 and your firm name. If the version number is less than 5.27 you do not have the current version installed. This will remain as the current version until we release the next major update.

Used as shipped, with preset defaults, ProDoc produces well-formatted and legally precise finished documents. However, if you find yourself regularly changing document formatting in your word processor before printing, it would save you time to customize the forms before you assemble the documents.

You can change margins and fonts, include headers with your firm’s letterhead and even graphics, add footers, change line spacing, or change paragraph justification, to name just a few options. These changes are saved in a configuration file which ProDoc imports into your finished document. You can change these settings once, and the finished documents will always include the changes you’ve made.
