legal pleadings wizard template issue
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? -- Ailya |

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? -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

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.

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. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

it seems to be something with this computer i guess. the template seems to
be standard and opens fine on the other computer we have - i just don't understand why it is not opening on my computer. it seems to be one of those things designed to make me go arrghh thanks anyway.
