Using this program is amazing. Your doc look so professional. I am using it to find and fill out important forms. You don't have to search the web for the forms, just put the form name in and that's it. Your good to go, this program is well worth the money. Fantastic!

So far I have been satisfied with finding the forms that I need. However, I don't fax things and just wandering if that is included in the amount that I paid of $ 120.00.
