SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS & SOFTWARE FILE SPECIFICATIONS:

Standard Legal Software works on virtually all Windows, Apple / Mac, and Linux-based systems. All Professional Version legal forms software titles are provided on a CD, and forms can be easily copied from the CD to your hard drive prior to use so that "clean copies" always exist on the CD.

Generally, the legal forms contained within each Standard Legal title are provided in three formats: as Microsoft Word files, as standard text files, and as Adobe PDF files. TO GET A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTIONALITY OF OUR LEGAL FORM FORMATS -- AS WELL AS FULLY-WORKING SAMPLES OF THOSE FORMATS -- CLICK HERE. (Note that some forms are provided in only one or two of the available formats.)

The fully-featured commercial version of Microsoft Word is required to complete the Word-formatted forms. Other open-source and commercial word processing programs like Microsoft Works, WordPerfect, Word Pad, OpenOffice, Google Docs, Note Pad or Simple Text may also be used, but only with the "straight text" version of the forms. Finally, the provided PDF versions of the forms require the download and installation of either Adobe's Acrobat Reader (it's FREE!), another vendor's PDF program that permits the entering of data into form fields, or the full commercial version of Adobe Acrobat. To edit the baseline content of the PDF forms requires the commercial version of Adobe Acrobat.
