MS Word Legal Training - Pay Attention To Where Your Cursor Is...

Scenario: Heading 2 Section 2.01 The Contract (Style Separator) (a) (List Num Field Code) Body Text Body Text Body Text Body Text Body Text Body Text Body Text Body Text Body Text Body Text. Heading 3 (b). Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text. 1. Above we have a situation whereby Heading 2 shares the paragraph, so a Style Separator is used in order to signify where the Heading 2 text ends for purposes of generating your TOC. 2. After the Style Separator, you have an "(a)" within the paragraph starting at the beginning of the Body Text portion of Heading 2. This "(a)" is making use of the "Listnum Field Code" and forces Heading Level 3 over to (b) as shown in the example above. What Is The Point? 3. Not knowing how to insert the ListNum Field Code, the operator went into the Multilevel Dialog Box and instructed Heading 3 to "Start At B" for that section of text. 4. When informed that the ListNum Field Code "should" be used in place of Heading 3 starting at "B", the operator attempted to get back into the Multilevel Dialog box to change Heading 3 to say Start at "A" . When entering the Dialog Box, the "Start At" selection was grayed out and could not be accessed. 5. The operator had the cursor sitting in the Body Text portion of Heading 2 causing the disabling (graying out) of the "Start At" area. 6. The operator changed the location of the cursor to the Heading 3 area and when entering the Multilevel Dialog Box the "Start At" selection was now available. The Start At section was now changed to Start At "A" and when the ListNum Field Code was inserted in the Heading 2 paragraph that I showed you above, the Heading 3 below naturally and properly kicked over to (b). The proper positioning of your cursor ensures that all features of the Multilevel Dialog Box are active. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com
