USA/Canada News

The Sackett Group logoCalifornia-based The Sackett Group, Inc. (“TSG”) celebrates its 25th year in business today at ILTACON, the annual meeting of ILTA (International Legal Technology Association).  The company also debuts four new Windows 10 compatible releases of its Forte and MacPac software applications.  See below for more highlights on the software releases.  

In honor of its silver anniversary, TSG has a creative exhibit at its ILTACON booth (#805) exploring the evolution of its software which started as a “Macro Package” or “MacPac” in WordPerfect and became the fully-integrated MacPac and Forte product lines offered in Microsoft Word today.  Entitled “Alice in Wonderland:  Re-Envisioned”, the interactive exhibit invites ILTA members on a journey “down the rabbit hole” to work hands-on with vintage technology from the 1990’s such as MacPac for WordPerfect 5.1 DOS – TSG’s first-ever product, introduced in September 1990 – and MacPac for both Word 2.0 and Word 95.  

TSG is presenting updates to four of its software programs at ILTACON, including Forte 11.1, Forte Tools 11.1, MacPac 9.9.2 and MacPac Numbering 9.9.6.  In addition to having compatibility with Windows 10, each of these releases has been fine-tuned based on Microsoft updates to Office 2013.   TSG has completed phase one testing for compatibility with Office 2016 and is preparing updates for full compatibility.  The new Forte 11.1 version includes an Insert function on the Forte ribbon, which enables users to create and save their own document packets (i.e., a living will, notary, cover letter, labels) and apply the saved data to all documents simultaneously.  The same function works for clauses, precedents, and blocks of text.
