HotDocs 2009 Standard Edition
New Features

International Languages: You can now automate your templates using any left-to-right reading languages that are supported in the Unicode character set.

Navigate repeated dialogs using new button: When completing an interview, end users now add new repetitions to a repeated series list by clicking the Add Another button, which is located both after all questions in the dialog as well as in the dialog’s title bar. (Users can no longer use the previously available methods for adding new repetitions to a dialog.) You can customize the title of this new button on a per-dialog basis by specifying it at the Dialog Editor.

Use INSERT instructions to include images: You can now use an INSERT instruction to insert JPGs, PNGs, and GIFs in a template. Additionally, you can insert RTF documents that contain image files. INSERT image instructions are appended with the IMAGE keyword.

Use variable INSERTs to specify inserted file names during assembly: Template developers can now use a variable INSERT in a template, which allows the file path and name of a template file or graphic file to be specified at the time of assembly, rather than during template development. You must use a Text variable, a Multiple Choice variable, or a Computation variable that results in text with a variable INSERT.

Hide editing buttons on spreadsheet dialogs: You can now keep HotDocs from showing the Edit Row, Insert Row, and Delete Row buttons associated with a spreadsheet dialog. (The options are still available via buttons and menus, however.)

Save component files, library files (both template and answer), and answer files in XML format: HotDocs now allows you to save component files, library files, and answer files in either XML format (required to use HotDocs 2009 features) or binary format (required to be compatible with HotDocs 2008 and earlier).
