I have noticed that pleading papers differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This makes creating templates a bit awkward. I tried working on one but found that regardless of how one created the numbering down the left side of the page, font choice and size in the body that matched the numbering was overridden by users. According to the specs for California around Sacramento, this should not be. So to create better pleading paper templates, we need input from the legal professionals in the various jurisdictions and even some samples. Could you please help with this? If yes, send an email to [email protected] and let us know. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST. OpenOffice.org Documentation Co-Lead http://documentation.openoffice.org/
