I like the program, but I really needed the ability to add Bates Numbering.
If the program would overcome some of the rather important limitations, this would
be an excellent deal for the money.

Excellent service and customer service! Disappointed however that the maximum number of pages allowable is 150. I'm working with much larger documents. The rest is great though.
