I just tried it in Word 2003 and it is working fine. How are you opening it
/ using it? The correct way to use it is to use File New to get the new
file dialog. (On XP you may need to go through the Templates ... on my
computer in the new document task pane.) Find the wizard (under the legal
pleadings tab) and double-click on it to start it running.

Double-clicking it with Word not yet started may have different results; I
don't know because I haven't tried.

I taking a legal research class as part of a paralegal program and the
instructor said to get the template and use it for an assignment. The
problem is i am getting is that the wizard does not do anything other than
saying 'starting legal pleadining wizard' Other templates work fine.

If there is another way to get the same results - that would be great.
Thank you

Hi,

I don't use the pleading wizard any more so I'm not sure what problems
you
are running into. However, the reason I gave up using the wizard was that
it
didn't produce pleadings I wanted to file with a court without a lot of
work
after it was done. Instead I used custom templates. What is it that you
are
trying to accomplish with this (rather flawed) tool?

I am trying to get the "Legal pleading wizard" working on word Xp
professional.

I have downloadd the template from the Microsoft site, then in word
click
file, new and under new from template under general templates I click
the
"legal pleadings" tab and double click on pleading wizard. I then sit
and
stare at an empty word screen which at the bottm says "starting legal
pleading wizard". I can leave the computer and come back an hour later
and
nothing changes. I have searched the knowledge base but nothing quite
like
this comes up.

HELP

all the other templates seem to work fine. I have tried many of them
this
morning.

What am I doing wrong?
