Learn Legal - Structure First Then Style The Document.

Whether at work or about to take a Legal WP Test you want to learn to look at a document in entirety so that you have a game plan. So if you are given an assignment at work or about to take a test that involves constructing let us say a large litigation or corporate document from scratch, then you need a plan that makes the process a smooth one. Consider the following for a routine: 1. Examine the Entire document. Is there a TOC, TOA, Index of Terms? 2. Are there Exhibits? 3. Is there a multi-level outline? 4. Is there a caption box? What style of Caption Box. 5. Look at the numbering system. So after a good look I would: 1. Create a Cover Page. Vertical Center Alignment. 2. Create Separate Pages for your TOC, TOA, Index of Terms. Make sure your numbering is Romanette style (i,ii,iii) for these sections. Make sure you place a section break before the first page of the main part of the document. . 3. Establish your page numbering for the main part of your document but do not number the first page of the main part of the document. 4. Establish a separate section in the back for each individual Exhibit with the Exhibit page number set-up. Once this entire structure is set up now you can style the document and mark it appropriately for the TOA and Index of Terms. The TOC will be created based on your Heading Styles. When you are finished with the outline and styling process then everything is already set up as to the running of the TOC, TOA and Index of Terms. If you take care of the structure first, then your time spent will be that much more efficient. Expert Test Prep Top-Tier Style Legal Training www.advanceto.com

Learn Legal-MS Word: Setting A Document Password vs. Restrict Editing

This write-up will be helpful in clarifying the difference between setting a Password for a document so that the recipient cannot open it without the having the password. This is different from making use of "Restrict Formatting and Editing Mode" which allows the recipient to access the document but having restrictions placed on what can be altered. So let us go over both: Password Protection: 1. Go To File, Info "Protect Document" Permissions. 2. Under the "Protect Document" Button, go down to "Encrypt With Password". 3. Type Your Password. Make sure you write it down somewhere. Also, from experience, make sure your fingers are on the proper place on the keyboard because you can type your "password" in wrong 2x and think you typed it in correctly. Then, when someone tries to open it with your "password", it does not work and you and the recipient are locked out and stressed out. It may also be a great idea to save a unencrypted copy of the file as well before you set the password. As to "Restrict Editing" you can get to it from File, Info, Protect Document, Restrict Editing or you can get to it from the Developer Tab as well as the Review Tab. 1. With Restrict Editing, we use it to lock a document for Fillable Forms, as well as allowing certain types of editing and determining groups and/or individuals that can do so. 2. When doing Fillable Forms, we restrict the document so that the recipient can only type in the form fields while the text of the document is off limits. I suggest you familiarize yourself with both scenarios discussed in this article. Basic-Advanced Legal and Corporate Training www.advanceto.com

Follow Number With Nothing?

Follow Number With Nothing? What is this about? Here Is The Scenario: You have the following Heading Centered on your page ARTICLE I (Soft Return) INTRODUCTION (Hard Return) 1. In the Multilevel Outline Dialog Box, the Word Article and the automated number l (Roman) are all considered part of the number for this level Heading 1. 2. In the Multilevel Outline Dialog Box, there is an area called "Follow Number With". Normally, when the Numbering part of the Heading Shares the line with the Textual part of the Heading, we use Follow Number with "Tab". 3. In our scenario above, the Numbering Aspect of the Heading resides on the line by itself. Therefore, in this scenario we choose Follow Number With "Nothing". This is because there is nothing following the numbering aspect of the Heading. 4. If you do happen to use Follow Number With "Tab" in this scenario, you would lose points on a hands-on test, cause the centered Heading to be slightly off center and in a law firm environment your co-workers would notice it as well. Now that you are aware of this type of situation, you will now be less likely to make the error. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com

Controlling The Look Of My Index of Terms Page Numbers

Controlling The Look Of My Index of Terms Page Numbers This does not come up everyday but when it does, it is good to know how to deal with it. If you don't, a simple thing like this can lose you points on a test and force you to use Direct Formatting unnecessarily. It really is a very simple thing to do but people sometimes do not pick up on where this is taken care of. Scenario: You are asked to run an Index of Terms whereby the Page Numbers are requested to be Bolded or Italicized. I have seen this scenario with a couple of different twists which I will go over with you. 1. The Page Numbers of the Index of Terms are controlled from the "Mark Index Entry" Dialog Box. Within the box, you have an area called "Page Number Format". You can choose Bold, Italic or Bold Italic (Both) 2. Now that you know how to control the Page Number in terms of attributes, let's run through the scenarios dealing with the generated Index of Terms. 3. If they want the Terms Bolded, Underscored or Italicized only in the text of the document, mark the terms first then apply your attributes. Using a Character Style will give you the most control as to modifying or deleting the attribute. 4. Conversely, if you want the Terms to show up with the Bold, Underscore or Italic Attribute in the Generated Index then apply your attributes first then mark each term. 5. As to the Page No. Being Bold, Italic or both in your Index: For each term that you mark, if you leave the "Main Index Entry" Dialog Box up and you choose Bold Italic or both, you will NOT have to reselect the Bold or Italic attribute for each individual entry. Just remember that as you highlight each entry click in the "Main Entry Box" (at the top of the Dialog Box) to update the memory concerning the current entry and you will be fine.

Two Common Issues with TOC and TOA

Two Common Issues with TOC and TOA By Louis Ellman 1. A common error with the TOA (Table of Authorities) is that the headings within the Table such as Cases, Statutes and Rules are in one Font while the remainder of the Table is in another. It happens because a quick look and you will pass over it without really noticing. The default setting for the style TOA Heading is not Times New Roman (most commonly used) so this comes up again and again. 2. In this case, modify the style TOA Heading and switch the Font to match the remainder of the TOA. Most often it is in Ariel and needs to be switched to the common Font Times New Roman 12. If you are in Draft View, you can double click on the style TOA Heading to modify it. Next Issue: This next issue concerns both the TOC and the TOA There are times when the text is crowding the page numbers to the extreme right in a TOC or TOA. Sometimes an attorney will notice it and ask the operator to please clean it up meaning to get the text away from the page numbers to the right so that it does not look so cluttered. 1. Some people manually go to the ruler and fix it by tugging the right margin toward the left for those entries that crowd the number. Each time that the TOA is updated, the problem resurfaces since it was done with direct formatting. So, the question becomes what controls the text of the completed TOA or TOC so that we can improve the look of the TOA or TOC and it will be fixed once and for all. 2. For the TOA, the style associated with the completed TOA entries is called “Table of Authorities”. Do the following: 1.​ Either double click on the left hand side style tracking “Table of Authorities” or right click on the right hand side panel where it says the name of the style “Table of Authorities”. 2.​ Under Modify, go to Format Paragraph and under Indentation “Right” make that 0.5. That will take all of the text of the Table of Authorities and will push it back towards the left an additional 0.5 thus making a clear lane between the Table of Authorities Text and the Page Numbering. 3. ​If you look at the ruler when your cursor is in the TOA you will notice that there is a right tab in the ruler toward the extreme right. You just leave that as is. The right tab controls the actual Page numbering all the way to the right. 4.​ Finally it is very important to note that if your TOC (Table of Contents) has this same crowding problem, you will go about fixing it in the same manner by modifying the styles TOC 1 and TOC 2 in your completed Table of Contents and set the right indent to 0.5 just as you did for the TOA. Knowing these tips will get you in the habit of looking at the headings of the TOA and the spacing of the entries and the corresponding page numbers on both the TOC and TOA.

Line Numbering Stemming from the Header

Line Numbering Stemming from the Header This is one of those requests that crop up once in a while but if it is you who needs to deal with it, you will surely want to know how. The situation: Line numbering places a number next to each line whether we are using single or double space. When we use line numbering anytime that it comes across a table, there will be a gap in the line numbering until it gets past the table. Upon coming across plain text, it will again start to number picking up where it left off. Here is the problem: Some attorneys do not like the gaps as it pertains to not numbering tables. They want uniformity. They want every page to be uniform so that for example every page has the numbers 1-25 page after page and all pages look the same uninterrupted no matter what is going on that page. So, in order to get around this problem that exists when using traditional line numbering, we will insert our own line numbering that will be consistent on every page no matter whether there is text or tables. So, how do we go about setting this up? 1.​Open up your Header on Page 1 of the main part of the document. 2.​Create a Text Box while the Header is open 3.​Double Click on the text box and size it approximately 8.50 inches long and 0.40 wide. 4.​ Position the empty text box to the edge of the first instance of text on page 1 where the No. 1 in your text box will be. You can use the Control Key and the Directional Arrows for micro moving of the text box if need be. Note: once your Header is open you can position the text box with the numbers anywhere you need to. It will always be associated with the Header regardless of where you position the text box. You may need to copy the completed text box to the next header in the same section if using the Different First Page Option. 5.​ I am going to assume that we are using double spacing for the paragraphs of the document. Go into the text box and type 1-25 and/or 1-27 with a hard return after each number. I say 1-25 or 27 because you may have variations with your top and bottom margins. Let us also assume that we are using 1 inch top and bottom. After you type in the numbers highlight the contents of the text box by clicking inside the text box and doing Control A. Format the text box to have 12 Pts. after each number. Yes the text box should be using single space but 12 Pts. After. Also, choose Right Alignment for the numbers in the text box. 6.​In my opinion, this method works best for Double Spaced documents. The line numbering should go up until it right before the Footer area. 7.​Last step is to remove the Lines of the Text Box. Double click on the border of the box and in the Format Text Box Dialog Box go to lines and select "No Line" 8. ​Make sure that your text box that stems from the Header repeats on each and every page so that the numbering acts as a template and every page has uninterrupted line numbering throughout the entire main portion of the document. 9. Three things: if you have a cover page, TOC, TOA, Index of Terms then you do not have to start the line numbering until the first page of the actual document. Some people might say, why don't you just use pre-lined paper? You can but pre-lined usually has a double red line after the numbers, you may not have numbered paper available and you may not have enough time to make a template type page to make your own pre-numbered paper. Finally if you wish to make the page more aesthetically pleasing, you can do a page border that only uses the left and right (no top or bottom) where you place a double line on the left where the numbers will line up and a single line on the right for a more traditional look.

Learn MS Word Legal: Two Scenarios But One Heading To Cover Them Both

This particular question has come up a number of times so it is best to clarify and remove the confusion associated with it. Here it is: You have a Heading Level 2. In some instances within the document the Heading 2 sits by itself. For example: Section 2.01 The Time Frame. In the scenario above, Heading 2 resides by itself. Let's now look at the scenario below: Section 2.02. The Management. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah In the above example, Heading 2 shares the paragraph and therefore will need the use of the Style Separator. After the Heading 2 text (after the Style Separator), a Body Text is applied to the remainder of the paragraph in order to disassociate that text from the Heading 2 so it does not end up in the TOC. So the question arises, do I need to have a separate Heading Level in order to accommodate a Heading 2 type heading that resides by itself vs a Heading 2 type heading that shares the paragraph? The answer is no. Heading 2 takes care of both scenarios and the sequential numbering system of Heading 2 is not affected whether the Heading is by itself or Sharing the paragraph. The numbering will continue to tally properly. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com

Table Of Contents, Headings and Titles

As you know, or may not know, most Table of Contents are based off of the Heading Styles. Some TOC"s are a combination of Headings and Titles. But, sometimes the Heading Styles are used in a way whereby they don't qualify as Headings in the sense of what would traditionally appear in a Table of Contents. Let me give you an example: Introduction (Style Name-Title Center) (Style - Heading 1) 1. The basis for this Agreement stems from the negotiations that took place over a four day period during the week of September 21. 2. The Agreement which will define how Company A will merge with Company B will be fully examined within this document. The following will be discussed: (Style - Heading 2) (a) The time frame involved blah blah blah (b) The Management of the company blah blah blah (c) Duplication of the Staff will be examined blah blah blah So in the example above, the Headings are really not useful to the TOC so therefore I would be looking at the Titles of the document. When you open up the TOC Dialog Box and go to Options, you would look for the Title Styles that you want to use within your TOC and place a number 1 or 2 next to the style name. The numbers represent the slot that the TOC level will occupy when run. In this scenario, since you won't be using the Headings, make sure you remove any numbers next to the Heading 1 and Heading 2 under Options so that they will be excluded from the TOC. Training From An Inside Perspective: www.advanceto.com

Hyperlinks: Table of Contents vs. Cross References

This article has to do with the functionality of the Hyperlink aspect when running a TOC vs. the Hyperlink aspect of inserting a Cross Reference. We want to examine how the Hyperlink function operates between the two separate functions. 1. When we run a Table of Contents and we make the choice of "Use Hyperlink Instead of Page Numbers" this covers us for those scenarios where "Web Preview" is going to be utilized. Instead of Page Numbers, the TOC entries themselves become the Hyperlinks. So, if this is published to the Web, the TOC entries will be links. 2. When not in "Web Preview", you can make use of the Hyperlink function by taking your cursor over to the Page Number and use Control + Click. It should be noted that whether you choose the Hyperlink function or not, you will always have the option to Control + Click on the page numbers of the completed TOC to be taken to any particular Heading of the document. 3. As to cross references, when you choose Hyperlink before you choose the section to Cross Reference in the Cross Section Dialog box, this will ensure that when the Cross Reference comes in within the document, you can make use of Control + Click to jump to the Cross Referenced item. 4. If you DO NOT select the Hyperlink box before selecting the cross referenced item, when the Cross Reference comes in within the document, you will NOT have the ability to Control + Click on the Cross Reference in order to be hopped to the referenced paragraph. 5. The Cross Reference will update as it should but many people like the ability to hop to a referenced paragraph as needed. So, in the TOC of a law firm setting Hyperlinks are not that crucial but in terms of the Cross Reference it is a vital and expected aspect of this particular function.

Learn MS Word Legal: The Difference Between Defined Terms and Definitions

This article will clarify the difference between ("Defined Terms") and the "Definitions" section of an Agreement or other similar document. As To Defined Terms. ("Defined Terms") 1. The Index of Defined Terms always sits after the Table of Authorities (if you have one) or after the Table of Contents if you do not have a Table of Authorities in a particular document. 2. Defined terms are designed to allow the author of a document to refer to a company, entity, individual, etc. in a shortened manner. So, if we have for example The New York Board of Education referred to numerous times throughout the document, you would most probably see this organization name defined in the following way: The New York Board of Education ("NYBOE"). Once the entity has been defined after the first use of the full entity name, you can then refer to that entity with the shortened term "NYBOE" for the remainder of the document. 3. When the defined terms are marked (References Tab) and an Index of Defined Terms is generated, the reader then has a list of all the terms in the document that were defined and the page number showing where the full version of the term was mentioned. The Definitions Section: 1. This usually comes in as one of the first sections of the document. Depending on the size and complexity of the document, you can have a short or a substantial Definitions section. A typical Definition: The Bank. For the purposes of this document, the term Bank will refer specially to Barclay's Bank of London. 1. The key words above are "For the purposes of this document"... 2. The definitions clarify the use of a particular term within the context of the current document. Outside of the document that same term can have a wholly different meaning. 3. Unlike the ("Defined Term") no need to mark or generate anything. Definitions just serve to clarify the meaning of a term within the context of the current document.

All of my students receive a thorough Table of Authorities Litigation class. When they are done, they are very good at setting up simple and complex Caption Boxes as well as a concise Table of Authorities page composed of Cases, Statutes and Rules. When doing a Table of Authorities, a lot of my new students are confused when it comes to recognizing Federal Statutes vs. State related Statutes. The link below, will help you to see the pattern of the Federal Statutes and the State Statutes State by State. All fifty states are covered in the link below. https://www.law.cornell.edu/citation/3-300 While Statutes pertain to the law, Rules (Federal or State) pertain to the workings and rules of the particular court the case is being heard in. Federal courts and State Courts have rules that govern every aspect of the chronology of a court case. How long do I have to respond to a Motion, what documents are submitted after the initial complaint? How long do we have to answer the Complaint and on and on. Below is a link that will discuss the Federal Rules vs. the Rules of the various State Court systems. https://law.duke.edu/lib/researchguides/courtr/ If you get comfortable with the subject of Statutes and Rules then the remainder of doing a Table of Authorities is quite simple and each separate category of Authorities is easy to designate and separate in the Table of Authorities Dialog Box.

Copying Track Changes From One Document To Another When you work in a legal setting the gamut of what you are asked to do is infinite. So, imagine you are in the course of a normal day and an attorney calls you or better yet comes to you in person and asks for something that does not occur often but you need to know how to do it nevertheless. So we come to one of these scenarios which is copying Track Changes from one document to another. Maybe the attorney needs to include a specific area of track changes in a document from a specific attorney and display them in a different document for a multitude of reasons. Without this ability you would have two other choices. 1. You could recreate the track changes in another document. 2. You could snapshot the track changes in the source document and paste the picture into the target or you could do the following: To keep your review/track changes in the new document do the following. Save a copy of the Word document. [This is your backup] Select the text you want to copy. Press CTRL + F3. This will cut the text along with track changes. [Hence the need to follow step 1 and make a backup of the original Word document]. Open a new Word document. Press CTRL + SHIFT + F3. This will paste your selected text AND your reviews/track changes along with it. Training From An Inside Perspective http://www.advanceto.com

Learn Legal 2007-16: Properly Producing The Gap...

Scenario: Heading 1 Centered: Article 1 (Soft Return) (1 line Gap) Introduction (Hard Return) Above, we have the situation of a centered Heading 1. Between Article 1 and the "Introduction" line there is a gap of 1 line which is the look that the author wanted for that level. The question then becomes how do we properly produce the gap? 1. The Soft Return after the Article line enables us to apply the Heading 1 style that will control this level 1x instead of having to apply it 2x if we were to place a hard return on the "Article" line. We want both lines to react immediately from the one application of Heading 1. 2. Some people will use an additional soft return after the Article line in order to produce the gap, but if you were taking a test or you were at work, that would be a red flag that your knowledge base needed to be bolstered. 3. So, how to properly produce the gap? You produce the gap in the textual aspect of Heading 1. You modify and set the Heading for Double Spacing (under Paragraph) and you make sure that Before and After Spacing is set to Zero. 4. By setting the Heading for Double Spacing, there is no need for the extra soft return that would have had to be applied by direct formatting throughout the entire document. 5. Your document will look clean and your document is totally controlled and automated by styles and not direct formatting. For training from an inside perspective. www.advanceto.com

Problem In Document Hiding In Plain Sight

As in many articles that I have authored, here is another scenario you would like to have been exposed to before it happens in a live situation. Scenario: My student has a test at an employment agency for a Word Processing Operator position. She works on an older MAC using MS Word 2010 at home which doesn't allow her to do the Style Separator feature. So, she resorts to using the old "Hidden Paragraph" method in order to be able to run a TOC without the entire Body Text Portion of the Heading 2 paragraph ending up in the TOC. 1. In this same document, she needs to mark the document for Index of Terms, Table of Authorities and Cross References. 2. Upon highlighting her 1st "Defined Term" the area in the Dialog box that allows one to complete the marking process was Grayed Out. The same situation occurred when attempting to mark a Table of Authority Entry and a Cross Reference Entry. 3. Looking at the Body Text Portion of her Heading 2 Paragraph, she had properly named it "Remainder of Para" which served to disassociate the Body Text Portion of the Heading 2 paragraph ensuring her TOC would run properly. 4. What I did notice was on that Body Text Paragraph, it had the Tell Tale Dotted Line under the entire length of the paragraph. This means that the paragraph has the "Hidden" attribute within the makeup of the style itself. I know it is in the style simply because ALL of the Heading 2 body text portions have the dotted lines and not just ONE occurrence. 5. Modifying the style and removing "Hidden" under Font, solves the problem of not allowing one the ability to mark the Index of Terms, TOA and Cross References. 6. Using the old Hidden Method in place of the Style Separator requires that you only mark the paragraph symbol that follows the Heading 2 "heading text" as "Hidden" . Yes, you place a Hard Return after your Heading 2 Heading Text and apply the Hidden Attribute to it. Training You Can Make Use of Right Away www.advanceto.com
