DataPrompter 2007 Add-In for Word

From: Bill Coan

DataPrompter 2007 Add-In for Word Speeds Up Document Creation For Word 2000 to Word 2007

One of the oldest and most popular add-ins ever created for Microsoft Word has been upgraded for 2007 with a number of new productivity features designed to speed your work and improve the quality of your documents. (As some of you may know, DataPrompter is the brainchild of Microsoft Word MVP Bill Coan.)

With the DataPrompter 2007 add-in, Word creates your documents for you and then automatically prompts you for any data that needs to be changed. There’s no faster or easier way to make sure that data is updated consistently throughout a document, which is one reason the add-in has proved popular in business, law, sales, finance, real estate, and government offices.

Integrated Spellchecker

DataPrompter 2007 now includes an integrated spell check function. Simply fill in the datafields and then choose Spelling…. and let DataPrompter do the rest.

Selective Import Capability When Creating Datafields

If you’ve already set up some DataFields in a document, you can import into a new document as many or as few of them as desired. Simply choose Create/Modify DataField and then choose Import… and select the document that you want to import from. Import a single DataField, all of the DataFields, or as many DataFields as needed.

List All Datafields In A Document

If you’ve ever wanted to keep a record of all the DataFields in a given document (or the current values of those DataFields), simply open any document or template that contains one or more DataFields, then choose DataPrompter Options and click List DataFields.

Faster Document Assembly

Assembling boilerplate items into a new document is as easy as ever, but now you can edit your assembly lists faster than ever, with fewer clicks than before. Also, now you can set the Copies count for a given boilerplate item to zero. Later, if you change your mind, simply reassemble the document and increment the Copies count to one or as many copies as desired.

Compatible With New Office 2007 File Formats

DataPrompter 2007 offers full compatibility with Office 2007’s new file formats as well as with older Word formats going back to Word 2000.
