The Finish Button


Some of you have reported inconsistent results relating to the Assemble ALL Documents feature within AvidLaw Probate. In some cases, the documents are not all being assembled when, at the End of Interview screen, you click on “Send the assembled document to Microsoft Word and close this window.” For this reason, we have changed our instructions for assembling all documents from the End of Interview screen. In the future, please click on the Finish button located in the lower right hand corner of the End of Interview screen in the Assemble window. This button will consistently assemble the document or documents associated with the interview. Also, be aware that this button is available throughout the interview and, if selected, will begin the assembly of the document or documents associated with that interview.

Also, because we no longer recommend that you use the “Send the assembled document to Microsoft Word and close this window” button, we suggest that you change your HotDocs Options to remove this button from the End of Interview screen. To do this, open AvidLaw Probate and select the Tools tab and then Options. Click on the plus sign next to the Interviews and Dialogs folder to see the subfolders.  Select the End of Interview subfolder and, within it, unselect “Send the assembled text document to the word processor.” While you’re here, we suggest that you also unselect “Close this window without saving the assembled document.” This option simply performs the same function as the red X in the upper right hand corner of the Assemble window.

If you need help with these steps or have any questions please let us know.
