Simple Document Assembly (SDA2007.EXE)

is really what this page is about . This is a FREE programme that should be at the heart of every legal practice that prepares documents for clients. So long as your office is using Windows 95 and up this small ( for these days ) programme will automate the production of finished documents from templates and data (Information ) files no matter what Windows word processor you use.

  • ... just about any windows 95 and up word processing programme this executable can (within the limits of what might be called normal legal practice ) produce perfectly formatted final documents which will print directly from SDA or better still from your word processor

    Latest News.

  • The programme is now at version 1.6 (2007)and still free
  • Export to HTML (for display in a Web browser) now works (I think)
  • Page breaks work in a sort of fashion (but you can't see them except in Print preview mode)
  • It is now possible to display carriage returns so as to assist in debugging a mal-functioning merge.
