Software for Writing Contracts

At this time i just use word and type away, but i am seeing some neat stuff around and i am assuming its from software (automatic strike outs with red lines was the one i saw today)

This function is actually available in Word. It has been a while since I have used the function, and I don't know what version of word you have but its under the 'revisions' function (or similar). It allows you to make changes to an existing document and the changes come up us as a different colour (with deleted text being struck out in the new revision colour). Multiple colours can be used to indicate different users or revision updates.

A very handy tool when I used to work at a testing laboratory writing up reports.

download and try OpenOffice. it's open source and FREE.

beats MS Word in nearly all aspects, with extra useful features. can open and save documents in .doc format, too.

I'm back on OO after a couple of years on MS products. The difference before vista was the help files were better on MS [especially excel].

The function that you are talking about is the "Track Changes" function. We use this frequently for Engineering reports to track changes and deletions from documents. Also if you go to the Microsoft website and under templates, you can find some legal form templates.

I have also used Open Office and have found it similar to Word, and it is pretty versitile, but I cannot make a valid judgement due to my limited use.

If you are working at a company that has bought into software packages (i.e. Microsoft Office), try asking other people in the office for tips. Also read any reviews on any software prior to purchasing.

I hope this helps. Good Luck
