ProDoc Supplemental Developer

If you have wanted to create your own ProDoc forms, we've got a deal for you. We have created a program which will help you create sophisticated, intelligent forms which ask multiple choice questions, insert appropriate pronouns, delete paragraphs and much more. This product is ProDoc Supplemental Developer (SuppDev), and is free of charge to all of our ProDoc users.


Most attorneys do not have the time to learn how to program complex expert document assembly systems from scratch. Their preference is to rely on specialists, like the attorney-developers on our staff, for creating forms libraries and keeping them up-to-date with current law. However, SuppDev is designed to enable ProDoc users to supplement their ProDoc libraries. ProDoc users can, with SuppDev, turn their own forms into sophisticated automated forms.

Supplemental Developer works with WordPerfect® version 7, and newer, and Microsoft® Word version 97, and newer. You will need to study the Supplemental Developer manual and work through a tutorial problem in order to learn how to use it properly.

With Supplemental Developer, you can create sophisticated and complex automated forms using a simple point-and-click environment. It has a complete set of forms development features with these capabilities:

  • fill-in-the-blank questions
  • multiple and single choice questions
  • optional paragraphs and clauses
  • repeating text
  • importing text
  • formatted answers for items such as dates, social security, numbers and zip codes
  • setting default answers
  • creating help information for each question
  • creating complex validation logic to prevent incorrect answers during assembly
  • creating complex logic for use during the assembly and merge process
  • a full featured language for sophisticated logic statements and calculations

Supplemental Developer will not allow you to change the operation of ProDoc master forms. All of your work will be maintained in separate databases to which only you have access. That way, when you install updates for your ProDoc volumes, your work will not disturbed.

Now, here's the catch. We do not want support demands for Supplemental Developer to take away resources which we need to properly support ProDoc itself. Providing world class support for attorney-customers using ProDoc every day to get their work out is our primary mission and it will remain that way.

As a result, we will only provide technical support for Supplemental Developer from our web site and by email.

Important Note: ProDoc is the only program that is capable of assembling finished documents using the forms you create with Supplemental Developer. If you do not have a ProDoc subscription this program will be of NO value to you.

       Supplemental Developer Limitation

ProDoc Supplemental Developer (SuppDev) works with any version of WordPerfect® Or Microsoft® Word® word processors.

It also works with any version of the Microsoft operating systems.

However, the optional tool bar that you can add to your word processor does not work efficiently with later versions of the word processor software and the Microsoft XP® and Vista® operating systems.

Therefore, we strongly encourage you not to install the optional "Word Processor interface" (the word processor tool bar).

That option is accessed through Setup General Setup Install word processor interface.

We are working to completely redesign SuppDev in which we will resolve this issue.
