Top Tier Style MS Word Legal TrainingWhen It's Already Part of The Numbering System -

Cross References: To start off, the basic essence of the cross reference is the following: The Cross Reference feature is constantly asking what number is presently sitting next to the paragraph that I am referencing and making sure that the outline number sitting next to the paragraph within the document "right now", matches the number of the paragraph your are referring to in the corresponding cross reference. Same idea for page number Cross References. As you know , when using Multi Level Outline Numbers, if you placed the word "Article" or "Section" before the auto number field code in the Multilevel Dialog Box, then the words Article or Section are now considered part of the number for that Heading level. So look at the sample below: "Issuance Date” means any Trading Day during the Commitment Period that an Issuance Notice is deemed delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b) hereof. Above is a sample cross reference. 1. In the case above, if the word Section of Section 2.03 is actually part of the 2nd level Heading number, you do not need to type the word "Section" because when the Cross Reference comes in, it will be part of the grey field code. 2. If in the same sample paragraph above, the word Section is NOT part of the numbering system then you "hard type" the word section within the actual document, go to cross references and insert reference to "paragraph number (Full Context)", the reference type is "Numbered Item" and the grey area will now be 2.03(b). Full context makes sure that you get to see the entire hierarchy of the reference. So without "Full Context" you would only see (b) as the Reference instead of 2.03(b). 3. Remember you will see your grey fields provided you have your Field Shading on under Format-Option-Advanced. (Show Document Content. ). I personally use the "always" selection. 4. It is good to operate with the Field Shading on because you will then see all your automated items such as your page numbering, outline level numbering, list numbering, generated TOC, TOA, Index of Terms and of course Cross References. Cross References can be very easy to use once you are comfortable with the concept. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com About To Go To The Agency For A Hands On MS Word Legal Test?

MS Word Legal - Portrait To Landscape To Portrait

Scenario: Operator comes across a portion of a document that has a large table that will need a Landscape page setting. 1. Before the Landscape page, insert a Next Page Section Break. 2. Under Page Layout (Layout in 2016), under Page Set-up, Margins choose Landscape for the Page Layout. 3. Do your Table and after doing the Table, insert an additional Section Break Next Page. Under Page Layout (Layout in 2016), under Page Set-up, Margins, choose Portrait for the Page Layout. This will now handle you from that point forward with the usual layout.. 4. If when doing your Page Numbering, you had used Control E to center your page number, you will not have to worry about the position of the Page Number. The Page Number will automatically center according to the new page size. 5. On the other hand, if you had used the "Center Tab" which resides in the ruler when in the the open Footer to center your page number then it WILL NOT automatically adjust. The Center Tab will have to be separately adjusted for the Landscape Page Opposed to the Portrait Page in terms of the Centering of the Page Number. You may not deal with Landscape every day, but you should be comfortable with the process. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com

Learn MS Word Legal: Using PowerPoint and YouTube For Promotional Purposes

As part of our course selection, we teach PowerPoint and one of the segments explores presentations. The PowerPoint presentations can be used for both promotion for the legal firm you work for as well as for personal promotion. Let me explain: 1. If you have a Gmail account, then you automatically have a YouTube account. You can create promotional material for your law firm or for your attorney and upload the presentation in movie format to YouTube. Then the link to that presentation can be used in any of the promotional materials for the firm or a particular attorney. While in YouTube, you can create a "Channel" and as the channel expands in terms of what you are offering, people then have more of a reason to subscribe to your channel. 2. As I have over the years heard "concerns" about confidentiality, this does not come into play in this scenario. You want everyone to see your promo material and promo material that also has useful and/or valuable information as well as promotional aspects is even more effective! While larger firms might opt to upload promos to their own server, smaller firms will gladly make use of the free storage space provided by YouTube. 3. For those of you that are not developing promotional material for your firm, you can do so for yourself. This would include incorporating parts of your resume, using video or audio of you talking about yourself as well as samples of things you have done or accomplished. This becomes a nice visual resume that can be posted anywhere you wish or the link to the YouTube video can be included at the bottom of your paper resume or electronic version as additional info and insight as to what you bring to the table. Get a Gmail account and use your free YouTube account to your advantage for your firm or for you personally. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com

Learning MS Word Legal - Copying Track Changes From One Document To Another

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 that text in a certain location of another document. 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]. Go to your target 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 MS Word Legal: Operator Gets Tripped By Legal Test and Their Own Habits

So, this is a true story that happened today but a good lesson was learned. Operator went for a Word Processing Test at a major law firm. The operator failed the test but it should be said that this person is a very good operator but two things happened that caused her to unravel. It involved the Multi-Level Outline. This firm did the following with the Levels for Headings 1-4 Level 1- Article I (Roman) Level 2- 1. Level 3- (a) Level 4- 1.01 Let's examine what caused the problems: 1. The first thing that totally threw her was that they placed the 1.01 (combo-like number) in Level 4. This is a typical law firm trainer trick where the trainer or WP person who wrote the test wants to "trick" the test taker. To me, it makes no difference where the combo number comes in, but let us agree that having a 1.01 in Level 4 is not something you would ever see in a regular document. This unorthodox placement was 1 thing that caused confusion. 2. The Roman in the First Level would initially come in as I.01 (Roman 01) until Legal Style was selected which would then switch over to 1.01. The selection of Legal Style was never used. 3. Finally, the operator had a secondary problem because nothing she was doing was taking effect. This was due to the fact she did not initially Link Level 1 To Heading 1, Link Level 2 to Heading 2, Link Level 3 to Heading 3 and Link Level 4 to Heading 4. It was not until way into the test did it register that the Link Level to Style was not used. 4. So, when taking a test look over the levels before you start, plan your strategy, Link Level To Style for ALL levels (at least 1-4) and don't let any out of the ordinary occurrence throw you off your game. Go about your business like you are at work. Relax, it is just word processing. www.advanceto.com Basic-Advanced MS Word Legal Word Processing Training

Learn MS Word Legal - Applying Styles With Ease

This short write-up has to do with a situation where you have the need to apply a number of different styles in succession in a particular document and you don't want to hunt up and down the right side style pallet to find the style you need. Just To Go Over Some Handy Tools: 1. Control Shift S (Apply Styles Toolbar). Type the style name you need and it will pop up in the window and you press your return key to apply the style. 2. Control Shift C - Control Shift V. Copy and Paste Formatting. Control Shift C to grab the formatting of a paragraph and Control Shift V to Paste that formatting to another paragraph. If you have a number of different styles you are using in the document, leave 1 of them on the Control Shift V Clipboard. As you need that particular style, place your cursor in the paragraph that needs that particular style applied and press Control Shift V. You avoid having to use the Paint Brush since Control Shift V is equivalent to the Paint Brush. It will stay on the clipboard until you introduce another Copy Formatting situation (Control Shift C). 3. You can apply a number of successive paragraphs with a style sitting on the Control Shift V clipboard or apply a paragraph with a style on the Control Shift V clipboard and then highlight the next 5 or 10 paragraphs needing that same style and press F4 for the "Repeat" function. 4. Double Click on the Paint Brush while the cursor is sitting in a paragraph of a needed style and "perpetually" apply that particular style X number of paragraphs needing that same style. Using "any" combination of these tools will speed up your applying of styles to large files. I would suggest you try them all and you will ultimately come up with combinations that make the most sense for you.

Learn MS Word Legal: Selecting All The Pieces Of A Chart To Get The Benefit of Grouping in PowerPoint

In writing this article, I felt that rather than think of this as a trick of the trade as it is, it is actually more of a strategy. What is this about? You are working on a chart that was not composed with a "Preset" but one that you have placed together from scratch. At the moment, this PowerPoint chart is composed of independent pieces namely boxes, lines, arrows etc. The chart is presently off center and it is obscuring Footer material on the Slide. It has to be moved more towards the center and moved up and away from the Footer material. 1. If I click on 1 of the shapes and follow that with Control A, I can grab (select) all of the Shapes at once instead of selecting them 1 by 1. 2. Doing so, will also select the shapes that control the separate pieces of the footer so since I do not want to affect the Footer related pieces, "Shift Click" on those Footer related pieces to De-Select them. 3. Normally, one would want to go to Drawing Tools, Format and select Group and when the Chart is Grouped, it can then be manipulated as one solid piece. 4. This is the main point: if you are still working on the chart and don't want it to be Grouped at this point, you can simply select all the pieces as stated in 1 and 2 above, and tug it where you want or use your Control + North, South, East and West Control Keys to move the chart as needed in a more precise way. It will still respond as 1 solid piece and after you have re-positioned the chart, you can go about your business without having to Ungroup it in order to deal with each individual piece as needed. Just a little "piece" of knowledge that gives you a bit more insight when working with PowerPoint charts.

Learn MS Word Legal: Running A Secondary Table of Contents. Why They Ask For This On Some Hands-On MS Word Tests..

This is a subject that does occur from time to time in a work situation as well as on a MS Word hands on test. In order to run an alternative Table of Contents, for the most part, you need to have a secondary Multi-Level Outline in place. So let us say in a typical scenario that you establish a secondary Multi-Level Outline within an Exhibit that has its own Section containing a number of Heading levels. You are then asked to run an independent Table of Contents associated with the Exhibit. The secondary Multi-Level Outline will have it own set of Heading Styles such as Exh. Heading 1, Exh. Heading 2. Some people just use Exh1., Exh2., Exh3. etc. When taking a test, they want to see whether you know how to disassociate the main Table of Contents from the secondary Table of Contents. When that is NOT done, you end up with a mixture of both TOC's melded into 1 big TOC. In our scenario, when running the Table of Contents, you need to do the following: 1. Position the cursor at the location where the Secondary Table of Contents will be generated. Go into "Options" within the Table of Contents Dialog Box. 2. Under Options, remove the "1" next to Heading 1 and the "2" next to Heading 2. 3. This action will Disassociate the first Table of Contents from the Exhibit related TOC. 4. While still in "Options", Now next to Exh. 1., place a "1" and next to Exh. 2., place a "2". Level two will come in a little further in from Level 1 as usual. 5. Run your Secondary Table of Contents and adjust as necessary. You should now have in front of you, only the Heading Entries that appear in the Exhibit.

MS Word Go-Back Command

Scenario: You are working on a very heavy markup. You know the type. If you take your eye off of the screen it is difficult just to find where you made the last edit. You may also be working on a heavy edit laden document where you are asked to do something else with this same document for the attorney. You are already fatigued and the going back and picking up where you left off is just tedious. So this short-cut lets the system do the location finding of where you made your last edit and helps to save the wear and tear on your eyes. When editing, Shift+F5 goes back to up to three editing points, and when you press it for a fourth time, it will then return to where you started with your cursor. When you open a document, it only “remembers” the last editing point Highly Recommended Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com - MS Word Legal Training - Basic - Advanced Increase Your Awareness Level www.awarenessexplosion.com Invite Us To Your Firm https://legaltestready.tumblr.com/post/164642716558/invite-us-to-your-firm-expand-the-ms-word

MS Word Legal: Get It Done While Your Table Is Highlighted

I guess I should explain the title of this post. When you need to do a Financial Table within an MS Word Document from scratch, there are a lot of things you can initially do to get the table ready for use so let's go over them. 1. Determine how many columns and rows are needed for your table. 2. Create your table 3. If in Print Layout View, you can select your entire table by clicking on the target symbol that comes up on the top left side when your cursor is within your table. 4. Once your entire table is selected, you can do the following in preparation. A. Remove your border lines so that you are left with your grey grid. B. Remove before and after spacing so that there is no extraneous spacing in the table. C. Adjust the font size if necessary D. Make sure all cells are bottom left aligned E. Make sure that those cells that will accommodate your numbers are all Left Aligned. By doing this, you can use the method for your numbers that uses the right tab in the ruler for your $ sign lines and the dec align tab for your non-dollar sign lines. It won't work properly unless the cells are left aligned. F. Finally, with the Table still highlighted, go into Table Properties and decide on the horizontal alignment. Will your table be left, center or right aligned. Now you should be ready to put your table together. While there may be minor adjustments to be done with column width etc. this initial exercise that I have suggested you go through will help you to put your table together a bit easier.
