Update CDs for our latest version of Standard Conveyancer™ are about to ship. While the original purpose of the cumulative update was to ensure that all clients have the latest Standard Conveyancer™ features, we have used this opportunity to add new technology to the program. If you have sent us your completed Client Profile Update, you should be receiving a CD soon.

As everyone should know by now, we have for a long time been on a dual-update track. Your update disk will have new features plus the latest versions of documents and programs, but all critical updates are posted on the Program Updates page at www.standardsolutions.com.

Software Updates at Your Convenience: One of our most exciting enhancements is a feature that automatically checks your system when you visit our Web site and detects which updates you need. Moving forward, the software will know exactly which updates have already been applied. The system will automatically install any new updates for you rather than requiring you to select from a list of available downloads.

Printing Enhancements: As new versions of MS Word become available (Word 2003 and beyond), we will continue to enhance our products to ensure compatibility. Our software has been enhanced to provide much improved printing performance with Word 2003, while limiting the possibility of Word producing blank pages within your merged documents.

For more information on features included in the Standard Conveyancer™ Update CD, you can view a copy of the Welcome Message/Release Notes.

Remember — you don't have to wait for a disk to get critical updates. You can download self-installing updates very quickly at your convenience to keep your Standard Conveyancer™ up to date the most efficient way possible.

Recent document updates available on our Web site include:

IRS W-9 (Rev. 1-2005)
IRS 1099 (with 2006 due dates),
IRS 8821 (Rev. 4-2004)

Also released last year was a major document and program package that updated Standard Conveyancer™ to handle the new Massachusetts Notary Public requirements. In the works currently are additional new documents, including notes and riders for use with the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac "InterestFirst" and "Interest Only" programs.

If your firm has not yet sent in a completed Client Profile Update, please print one and fax it to us as soon as possible so that we can review your current configuration and ship your update CD.
