MS Word Legal Training: 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.
