Overview

The EIN website 'Bundle' feature lets you store individual cases and country reports in 'Content Bundles' that you create. You can then turn these content bundles into court-ready, fully paginated and indexed Microsoft Word format documents using a special add-in for Microsoft Word. You can also add your own text, Word documents and PDF files to a bundle. If you have to create Tribunal bundles, this feature will save you many hours of work!

There are two main steps in creating a bundle. First, compile your content bundle on the EIN website. Second, work in Microsoft Word to create a fully paginated and indexed bundle. The following guides take you through the steps you need to perform to create bundles.

If you are new to bundles, we recommend that you start with the 'Beginner's bundle guide' - you should be producing paginated, indexed bundles in minutes!
