Edit client documents during print preview

Once you’ve completed data entry and are ready to preview the return, you can make changes to a client document before printing that document from UltraTax CS. This option is available for documents such as transmittal letters, filing instructions, and invoices.
Follow these steps to edit the text of a client document during print preview.
  1. Select
    File
    , then
    Preview
    , or select Print preview
  2. Select the client document (such as the transmittal letter) from the document pages dropdown in the toolbar or the list pane of the preview window.
  3. When the document is selected, UltraTax CS displays
    Edit
    and
    Restore
    in the toolbar of the preview window:
    • Select
      Edit
      to edit the selected document in Microsoft Word or WordPad.
    • Select
      Restore
      , then
      Default
      to return an edited document to its original state. Select
      Restore
      ,
      Default
      , then
      Edit
      to return an edited document to its original state and then open it in Word or WordPad.
  4. Make your changes to the document. You can edit text, make formatting changes, and insert images. Note that inserted images will display placeholders rather than the image itself. Don't edit variables (such as the {List of Returns} in a transmittal letter) outside of UltraTax CS. Doing so can prevent the document from displaying the variable content correctly.
  5. After making your changes, save the document and close Word or WordPad. UltraTax CS automatically refreshes the print preview to display the updated document with your edits included. The name of the edited document is displayed in red text in the list pane.
