Don't get mad, get even!
If you're tired of wrestling with Word's formatting every time you have to draft something more complex than a letter, this is your course. Word courses designed for the general public just don't address the issues lawyers face when drafting legal instruments. By contrast, this course is designed by lawyers, for lawyers. We'll cover legal drafting issues such as automatic paragraph numbering, complex page numbering schemes, tables of contents, footnotes, and paragraph number cross-referencing. Not only will you learn how to control Word's complex formatting attributes, but as part of this course you will also receive sample Word templates for pleadings, contracts/agreements, trusts, and leases—all with the complex formatting built in and ready to go.
If you want to master Word, there are certain concepts and features you must understand. This seminar will teach you what is going on behind the curtain so you’ll know exactly how to attack drafting issues and fix or avoid the formatting problems plaguing you now. We’ll cover styles (which grant you full control of formatting), macros (which allow you to automate repetitive tasks), and templates (which are the starting point for the legal documents you draft). Understand these topics and take your word processing to the next level of efficiency. Drafting complex documents in Word shouldn’t feel like punishment. Don’t get mad, get even—and learn to control Word.
Following this course (in the afternoon), the companion course Law Office Paper Reduction and Document Management: Strategies That Work will be held. Take both courses and SAVE!
