Great information from everyone. Why not create a page under Templates that is for Legal Documents. It can be split by whatever makes sense. The first page would list the Major Countrys that have legal documents, then under each of those a list of what regions the document is for. Using this format, it would be pretty easy to add documents as they are available. A tiny nit to pick on an otherwise workable scheme, methinks: rather than
"Legal Documents," "Law Office Tools." If we use "Legal Documents" we'll get a lot of traffic from Google, etc., from people who are looking for legal forms rather than templates. Also, we're apt to come up with more law office tools than just pleading templates. E.g., more elaborate templates with case caption forms, certificates of service, styles for outlines that will automagically create a table of contents from the outline headings, macros to load the templates, etc. BTW, if anyone is ever looking for a macro project, I'd recommend taking a look at Barry McDonnell's WordPerfect Toolbox, < http://wptoolbox.com/library.html>, also the Other Authors page on that site. A few address issues unique to WordPerfect, but Barry has the most-used selection of downloadable PerfectScript macros on the web. Many get heavy use in law offices. Barry has an incredible talent in coming up with macros that are super useful. Also, if you have a copy of WordPerfect, his macros are heavily commented to serve double duty as educational tools and to aid in customizing them. But even without WP on your system, his macro descriptions are detailed enough to give a good idea of their functionality. Just click on the macro titles. (An earlier version of Barry's Unique.wcm macro now ships with WordPerfect. ) John Land's macro collection specifically for law offices is a very rich source of ideas for macros assigned to keystroke commands for high productivity, <http://wptoolbox.com/otherauthors.html#johnland>. Land's collection has evolved over the years and includes recommended keystroke assignments using an assignment scheme that actually makes sense. Best regards, --Marbux
