Simple Document Assembly

Simple Document Assembly is a text editor that enables you to create and save, as well as open and edit TXT, RTF and HTML files. It features a calculator for mathematical expressions, along with Office-level text formatting options.

The program is mainly designed for legal practice, giving professionals the possibility to prepare documents for clients. It contains a couple of templates to help you get started.

The installation procedure is a speedy task that shouldn't give you any trouble, since there are no special options, mandatory software applications or third-party components bundled.

By the look of the interface, Simple Document Assembly hasn't received updates for a pretty long time. It reminds us of Microsoft Office 97. However, it has a neatly structured layout and well-organized options.

It's possible to change the font type, size and color, emphasize text by applying bold, italic or underline effects, show line endings, set the text alignment, create bullet lists, as well as to insert Package, Paintbrush or Wordpad objects, or another file's contents as an object.

You can resort to a simple search-and-replace function, calculate and replace math expressions, insert blank lines and page breaks, toggle multiple opened docs, as well as open and edit .ini configuration and .tmp template files to assembly the document.

No error dialogs popped up in our tests and the tool didn't freeze or crash. It left a small footprint on PC performance in our tests, running on a low amount of CPU and memory.

On the other hand, Simple Document Assembly hasn't been updated for a long time, and its interface needs a lot of work in the graphical department. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself, since it's free.
