Click here to download the latest upgrade

Internet Explore 7 - display problems:

If you are running Windows XP and have upgraded to the new version 7 of Internet Explorer you will notice that the first Residue form does not display the the branching options options for the second and third level beneficiaries - the missing image symbol is shown instead. The fix for this is included in this upgrade - it's quite safe to install this upgrade even if you haven't installed IE7 or are still running Windows 2000.

Extra options and styles include:

• A choice of Traditional or Modern Format Wills in the same program.

• Default opening style can to be set to Traditional or Modern - and
  reversed without affecting client records.

• Improved Word macros with a choice of styles and versions of MS Word

• Anticipation of Civil Partnership now available.

• Mirroring for same sex partners now works correctly throughout.

• Trustee Powers can insert the standard STEP provisions (if none of
  the first eight powers are checked)

Overwriting existing Will templates

This upgrade installs two new Will templates. One tries to overwrite the existing file templates\wills\wills.ldt The new file has the same name but is copied to a new folder
as templates\wills_M\wills.ldt

WARNING If you have edited the Template Clauses your changes may be overwritten. The above message always appears and if you select 'Yes' edited clauses will be replaced with the new Traditional template. Select 'No' to retain the existing clauses (and style) - in this case only the new Modern style is added but you will still be able to choose between the two basic options shown below.

Will Style Options

Installing the upgrade offers a choice of which will be the default style for Will documents - the template that opens as the program starts. The default style appears at the top of the template lists. Both styles generate Wills with the same text for the body of the clauses. The style of the Will document can be changed instantly simply by selecting the alternative template and generating again.

Style Variations

Note: If you edit the template clauses, the changes will only apply to the style you have open while editing. If you decide to alternate between styles frequently, the template clauses for both versions need to be edited.

If you require substantial changes to the supplied clauses, it is best to keep a record in plain text so that these can be pasted in again if we make future structural changes to the functioning of the Will templates.
