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?
