M/Docs II Version 3.0.3.7 release notes
March 31, 2013
Perhaps the most long-awaited enhancement to the program has been the ability to use the most
widely known short-cut keys for cut, copy and paste. Users may now copy text using Control-C,
cut text using Control-X and paste text using Control-V. (Please hold your applause until the end.)
This release contains changes designed to help locate clients and client matters easier.
First, when adding a new client in the client window, users will notice that new clients
are reorganized after saving into alphabetical order. The client "number" will change to
reflect the new position in the client order. In addition, clients can be added to and
removed from the Favorites window by clicking the Add to Favorites icon on the client screen.
If a client is a member of your Favorites list, the "Add to Favorites" will display as a
"Remove from Favorites" icon, allowing you to reverse the process.
Clients will also display alphabetically in the Save and Save As windows,
making it easier to locate the client you wish to associate with your document.
The "None" option will continue to display at the top of the list for easy reference.
As a user's client matters grow, it will now be easier to locate current matters.
A Matter Filter button has been added to the Matter window. By clicking on the drop-down menu,
a user can opt to view All Matters or only those Matters used within the past month,
the past quarter or the past year.
The release also contains changes to font capabilities. When placing text on a page,
users are now given the option of using Helvetica or Times New Roman type in order to
match the font used on the open document. Note: When placing text on a page, the program
will not accept text boxes placed over checkboxes. Users will see an error message display
when they attempt to place a text box over a checkbox or within an approximate one-eighth to
one-quarter inch gutter around a checkbox.
In addition to allowing a user to switch fonts in user-added text boxes,
a user will also be able to change font type and font sizes in fields.
Once text is entered, simply right-click on the field to display the options.
A change that will most noticeable to our Probate and Family Law subscribers
is the auto calculations that will occur when autofilling documents.
Previously, while amounts would autofill in appropriate places throughout
selected documents, they did not trigger the calculation process.
Now, when documents autofill, the totals and interim calculations should appear with the rest of the data.
Improvements have been made to the export process for forms.
In addition to being able to export a form in PDF format, users will now see that
the difficulty when trying to export documents in .jpeg and .tiff formats has been resolved.
The ordering process has been simplified by providing more options for ordering customers.
Customers may now indicate on their order if they have previously paid by invoice or if
they need to move a subscription between computers. Checking these other options will make
it clear that credit card information is not required to process these types of transactions,
eliminating the need for customers to contact Miller/Davis to ensure they will not be charged
a second time for their subscriptions.
M/Docs II Version 3.0.0.0 release notes
March 30, 2012
This release contains a major upgrade to M/Docs II, with the addition of network
functionality and several important new features. The release also contains a newly
created document module, Judgment Enforcement, as well as new or updated documents
in other previously existing modules.
Network Install
It is now possible to network M/Docs II among several devices, making sharing
data within your organization a breeze. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions
provided in the M/Docs II Configuration Editor, which installs as a part of the program
and will appear in the Miller Davis Company folder.
(Important: Before configuring your network on workstations already running the
software, it’s important to back up all data and documents files. They can
be integrated back into the software after installation.)
Forms and Modules
A new module is available for Judgment Enforcement proceedings. The module
contains the following subgroups:
- Conciliation Court
- Financial Transactions, including Promissory Notes
- Garnishment
- General Executions
- Miscellaneous Documents (Confessions of Judgment, Affidavits, etc.)
- Recovery of Personal Property
- Satisfaction and Releases
- Supplementary Proceedings
The module is available at renewal rates for those currently subscribing to at least
one other M/Docs II module—just remember to click on the box when ordering to be
contacted before processing credit card information to receive the lower price.
Subscribers to the Conveyancing module can now access documents used in land
registration under a new form group named Registration of Land. In addition,
two new documents are included:
- 50.3.1 - Certificate of Translation
- 50.3.2 - Affidavit Regarding Farm Disposal of Solid Waste
Program Enhancements
We’ve implemented a new screen view, Favorites, which offers the following
features:
- Displays a user-generated list of favorite documents and clients
- Customizable display settings
- Available as the default welcome screen
We’ve also made it simple for users to print matter pages by including a
“print” icon on each, which can be used to print either blank or filled-in forms.
The 3” top margin of each matter page easily accommodates your organization’s pre-printed
letterhead.
In addition, users are now able to set a default printer for forms separate
from their default printer for other tasks. This makes it simple to maintain a printer
dedicated to printing forms on letterhead while maintaining another printer for
blank paper. Alternatively, users can choose to be prompted to select a printer
for each job.
M/Docs II now comes with a new error-reporting system, enabling our developers
to pinpoint and patch system errors with greater accuracy and effectiveness, in
many cases without needing to uninstall and reinstall the program itself. Users,
as well, are provided with a better tool to report errors and request enhancements
or new form libraries.
Program updates, when available, will now make it clear whether each update
carries minor changes, or more substantial modifications to the program or forms
library..
