I used the free Xword app to print my son's will. The problem is that I want to add the trustee's name and all I have is several prints. I didn't save a copy to documents.

How can I add more info to that document without having to type out the whole thing again? I scanned it to my desktop but I cannot add to that.

You can add text to a pdf (assuming that's what you've got), but you'll have to see for yourself if your options suit your needs.

Could you merely type a new section that incorporates what you need, cut & paste it into an existing paper doc, and work with a photocopy of the resultant new doc?

artie,

After fumbling around, I decided to retype the will which is now complete. I'm glad I did because there were a couple of changes I made which improves the document.

I used bean which is so simple (for me anyway.)

Thanks for your suggestions.

A happy ending!

I've used Bean; it's an excellent app, and FREE to boot.
