Legal MS Word Training - Table Of Authorities And The Use of Passim

Table Of Authorities And The Use of Passim In a previous post of this forum entitled Adding Categories To The TOA, we discussed adding a category to the Table of Authorities when the default list did not accommodate a particular authority type that we needed to mark. It should be noted that when you make changes to the TOA available category listing, it is stored on your particular work station, so if another operator inherits the document and re-runs the TOA on their workstation then then those categories will not be available unless they add them to their work station as well. In terms of this Article, the selection for Passim comes up within the TOA Dialog Box on the left side. In our present case, the Latin term “Passim” in this context of a TOA refers to a citation that appears throughout the document a number of times. If “Passim” is checked, and a particular entry is marked five times and above the Passim message will kick in rather than list all of the different pages that the particular citation resides on. In sum, The term passim should be used in the Table of Authorities only if you cite a particular case or statute on more than five pages throughout the brief. In all other instances, you will use specific page numbers for citations. I hope this clarifies a minor but important piece of knowledge relating to the creation of a Table of Authorities.

MS Word Legal Training - Just To Clarify The Spike

Just To Clarify The Spike The term came up last week from some of our learned operators when I spoke about the use of Control F3 and Control Shift F3 in order to cut and paste track changes from one document to another. But although it made use of the spike feature it was not necessarily the traditional and only way it is used. Some basic facts about this little known feature called the Spike: 1. We know we have the traditional clipboard. The “Spike” feature serves to give us a more powerful clipboard by giving it additional functionality. 2. As we already know the clipboard (cut or copy) and the spike feature (cut) are meant to compile items that are taken from one location of a document so that they can be pasted somewhere else. 3. The Spike feature in MS Word lets you to cut and paste non-contiguous text. Non contiguous text means that you can grab let us say five snippets of text and graphics from various areas of a document and have them pasted in their new arrangement in a different area of that same document or another document altogether. Before you make use of the Spike feature I would duplicate the document that you are going to “cut” from. In this way if you need to go back to a pristine copy of the same file you have it. 4. To send any item to the spike, you can select the piece of text or graphic and press Ctrl+F3 and it will cut the text. The “Spike” feature will allow you to go on sending items to it. Sending a second item to spike will not replace the first item which is what happens when we use the regular clipboard feature. 5. You can press Press Ctr +Z to restore the removed text (that we threw to the spike clipboard) from the source document if you still need it. Ctrl+Z will not remove the text sent to the spike but will simply restore the text you spiked. 6. Once you have all the required items in your spike clipboard you can paste it anywhere you need it. Take your cursor where you want to paste the “Spike” clipboard text. 7. Press Ctrl+Shift+F3 to paste it in. Fun Fact: You can also type ‘spike’ where you want to paste the spike and then press F3. This is similar in making use of insert autotext feature. 8. Spike and Clipboard do not effect each other. If you cut new text (Control X) this won’t replace Spike related cuts and an additional new spike (Control F3) won’t replace content in the clipboard. So, Spike is really a separate storage location than the clipboard. 9. Remember: Windows clipboard can hold one item at a time. The Office clipboard can hold maximum of 24 items. The “Spike” clipboard can hold thousands of items but once you insert the Spike cuts that you accumulated and paste them in – the Spike clipboard is then emptied.
