Terrible program
This is the most unintuitive, frustrating program I have ever worked with. I had to print out the 100 pg. manual since it doesn't come with one and even with the manual it is nearly impossible to use. Nothing is logical or easy with this program. Don't buy! ... Read more

Badly designed software, nonexistent customer support and management
Nolo brings out a new version of Willmaker every year. I emailed them to see if my Virginia will was still valid. They didn't even have the courtesy to answer. I checked, and the law hadn't changed. I suspect this is the case with virtually all, if not all, states.
Get the version sold by Amazon
Quicken WillMaker (formerly published by NOLO) 2005 is a minor update, but it's always a good idea to get the latest version so it reflects the latest state laws.(But estate laws don't change often...)

2 Must Have's - Security and Native Files!
I've been a Docs To Go user since version #4, and it's a program I wouldn't want to live without.I recently upgraded to the Palm Tungsten T-3, and Docs To Go #6 Premium looks great on the high resolution color screen - especially when viewed on the wider horizontal format when my T-3's slide-out cover is fully extended.
Avoid the demo at least
I tried the demo v.6.005 on my Treo 600. Very impressive for the most part, but unlike the free bundled viewer it crashed very badly on an e-mailed native Word doc attachment. I actually had to do a hard reset and reinstall all my apps and data from scratch. This is a very impressive piece of software, but hard crashes like these (which I subsequently re-tested and found repeatable) aren't really acceptable. Verdict: don't use this if you plan to travel away from your hotsync PC for any length of time!

unsuable
documents to go compresses my power point slides to the level where the graphics and text are literally unreadable.space on my memory stick is not tight so I would rather have the raw data, but i found no way to change this.a 15 meg document is compressed down to 580k, of course the quality is terrible. ...

A great source of information for the independent.
The information is very useful, just the e-book information itself is extremely valuable.The other "reviewer" said that he did not find it useful, and that there was no flexibitliy.However, I disagree, you can make any information as flexible as you choose by simply "exporting" the data.Many forms here, give you all the legal basics that I simply could not find on line (that is without having to pay for it).There is very little information that you can actually obtain for free anymore, and if you find it, you've probably invested hours upon hours of time that could be better spent running your business.I'm thrilled with my Legal Business Pro, now I can do all the work myself, and finetune it as I see fit (by simply exporting the finished document).And for a business owner that does business in several states, it has you covered, as you simply select which state(s) and it extracts the information relevant to you needs.A great resource, for those who would rather do their own work than shell out cash every time they need a simple legal form drafted.
The best software product for small business !
This is a great software product for small business owners. It has dozens of forms, sample letters, and worksheets to help with forming a business, hiring employees, borrowing and lending money, leasing space, etc. In addition to the forms, it includes the full text of five Nolo books: Legal Guide for Starting & Running a Small Business, Tax Savvy for Small Business, Everyday Employment Law, Marketing Without Advertising, and Leasing Space for Your Small Business. The books alone make this an amazing deal.
Not Very Useful
I thought I'd better warn people before the fake glowing reviews come in.

Create a new document and modify the content easily using the new "Flowing Text" mode.

Pleasantly surprised!
After reading the mixed reviews for this item, I purchased it reluctantly. After installation, I wished that I had purchased it sooner! It is the best OCR software I have ever used. It easily recreates the document you scanned into it. This is a winner!

Does not work well - Go with Scansoft instead
The I used to have Scansoft Textbridge and Omnipage and got ReadIris Pro to change. I mad a mistake the OCR from Scansoft is way better, it performs very well and Textbridge is much easier to use than Readiris. Worst OCR software I've ever seen
Apart from the program crashing every other time it is used, the features are archaic and besides, it requires you register within 30 days of installation or else ... it blows up - just like win XP.Read more

I HATE this product
At my business we are required to scan things to PDF documents to send to our clients. I love the PDF format. It is a great way to easily condense documents into small file sizes while still maintaining quality. It's unfortunate that I haven't found a way to create PDF without going through Adobe first. As the IT guy in our office, Acrobat problems is the biggest thing I get called about. This is the most bloated invasive software I have ever used, even more so than some spyware I've seen. It installs itself EVERYWHERE.
Acrobat 6
I really think many of the visual upgrades made to Acrobat 6(over Acrobat 5) only made it more clumsy.The core product is still great.

Eh... Version 5 was fine.
I've been a fan (and user) of Acrobat for many years, and am continually amazed by the number of organizations that *don't* circulate their documents in PDF format. I don't even *read* Word attachments anymore, for fear of viruses and because I *know* they won't look like the author intended.
