Bates Stamping Documents
This guide will instruct you on how to Bates stamp page numbers documents.
Exporting Bates Stamped Documents
To export documents from your binder with Bates stamps, follow the steps listed in “Printing and Exporting” to prepare your export. Before pressing submit, select the checkbox for “Add New Bates Stamp.” This will create new Bates stamps based on your preferred settings, and will not modify or replace any existing Bates stamps.
When the checkbox is selected, you will see a new button appear labelled “Modify Bates settings.” Clicking on this button will display a window where you can update your Bates stamp settings, style, and location.
Under Bates Settings, you are able to define your Bates prefix, suffix, number of digits, and start page. Directly below these fields, you will see a preview of your Bates stamp text based on your settings.
Additionally, you will see a checkbox labelled “Add new Bates stamp to binder?” If you select this option, when you submit your documents for export, the corresponding documents within E-Ring Binder will have Bates stamps added. Only the documents that you have included in your export will be updated with Bates stamps.
Note: Once added, you cannot remove Bates stamps from your documents in E-Ring Binder.
Bates Stamping Your Binder
To add Bates stamps to your binder, select one or more documents from the Navigation list. Right click on your selection, and click the option to “Add Bates Stamp.”
In the Bates Stamp window, you can update your Bates stamp settings, style, and location. Under Bates Settings, you are able to define your Bates prefix, suffix, number of digits, and start page. Directly below these fields, you will see a preview of your Bates stamp text based on your settings.
If you have selected more than one document, Bates numbering will continue sequentially where the previous document left off. That is, if your first document ended on page 5, the first page of the second document will be stamped as page 6. Cover pages will not be Bates stamped.
Press “OK” and E-Ring Binder will add Bates stamps to each of the selected documents.
Note: Once added, you cannot remove Bates stamps from your documents in E-Ring Binder.
