Your new apartment building is gleaming in the afternoon sun, and the tenants you have painstakingly interviewed are about to move in on the weekend. You are a purist at heart, so you have your plus-fours all ready for the course, and your brassie and mashie-niblick are ready for the links. The trouble is: You have 150 lease agreements to get printed, signed, and delivered. You look longingly at the fine, sunny day and despairingly at the stack of blank paper on your desk. Wait a minute! There is an answer.
Last week, you heard about a fancy, new automated document program. This program creates customized documents unique to each situation by merging with Microsoft Word. Your round of golf is saved! "How can this be?" you ask yourself. Lease agreements are only one of dozens of documents that "The Form Tool" produces en masse through MS Word automation. All you have to do is answer a few questions about each of your new tenants. The program drafts each agreement itself, customizing for gender, name, capitalization and pronouns. It will even let you insert mathematical formulas to compute taxes, rent breakdowns, utility costs and the like for each tenant individually.
The best part is that anyone who uses Microsoft Word will be able to use this program. The directions for use are easy to understand and implement. The necessary time for completing your project is decreased by almost 90 percent, too! Now that you have finished printing all 150 of your lease agreements, you can relax by golfing with your buddies. The day after everyone moves in, you and your assistant will deliver the agreements.
Document Automation can also help you with other tasks requiring repetitive forms. For example, you can create work orders, requisition forms, other order forms and rules sheets for both you and your tenants to use. Your life as a building owner just got easier than it was before through document automation.
