Timeslips version 2012 has just been released and you may be wondering if you should upgrade. The new version features shortcuts to streamline the way you work and speed up your billing activities.
For years, in order to approve a bill and be able to reprint a bill from within Timeslips, you had to print to paper, or use a workaround. This wasted time, paper, ink and money. With Timeslips version 2012 you have the ability to print to PDF without printing to paper, while retaining the ability to reprint bills from within Timeslips. In addition, you now have the ability to reprint to RTF files.
Timeslips v2012 print to PDF feature offers new options to control how the files are named when saved. This saves time because you no longer have to manually rename files to your standards.
Timeslips has long offered the ability to spell check words which can save the embarrassment of sending out bills with spelling errors. With Timeslips v2012 you can more easily add or remove words from your personal dictionary. In addition you can now choose up to six dictionaries to be used when reviewing text; including American, British, Canadian, American Legal, British Legal and Technical.
To make Timeslips easier to use and tailor to your needs, improvements have been added to features for navigation and to use of general settings and personal preferences.
Need help with collection letters, retainer requests and late reminders and other correspondence? The new mail merge capability has been added to allow you to merge client information with Microsoft Word.
Purge closed client names by using filters, importing client reference settings and a prompt to create payments from an account when entering a funds deposit for a client with a balance are all features that we know Timeslips users have been waiting for.
