Does anyone know if its possible to create pleading paper aka ruled line legal pages in Pages? The pages have numbers 1-28 down the left side.There is only one but it may satisfy your requirements. How do I fill this out? "Pleading paper" is the format required for filing documents in court when there is no pre-printed form available. Choose Tools > Legal Tools > Pleading Expert Designer to start the wizard. The Pleading Expert Designer dialog box and the pleading paper preview window appear. You do not want to use the pipe character but rather a line in the header. Numbers were originally done in the headers (Word 95 - Word 97). The key to perfect pleadings is spacing.
