Finished Legal Pleading Wizard, error: "cannot be copied"

[Jax]

Using the Pleading Wizard, after clicking "finish", I got an error message
that said that the document cannot be copied. What's wrong? I have used this
feature before and it worked fine.

It is impossible for anyone to say without much more detail and extensive
experience with the wizard.

I originally used the wizard to learn how Word inserts side rules and
numbers. However, the pleadings it produces do not look professional, IMO. I
created my own templates that meet the needs of my jurisdiction,
automatically pull the client, court and opposing counsel information from a
database and include firm information in small text in the margin outside
the rule.

I suggest you learn to make some templates and use those instead.
