Join us in Chicago or via live webcast from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 26 to learn how to master Microsoft Word. For most law offices, Microsoft Word is the core production tool used to create a work product. Further, legal users require more from Word than almost any other profession because the documents produced are necessarily complex. Unfortunately, most legal users find Word frustrating. Getting documents to look the way you want them to is often described as a "wrestling match" where attorneys have to try and "outsmart the program." Some advanced features like automatic paragraph numbering, tables of contents, and tables of authority can seem completely inaccessible. The good news is that once you understand how Word works, it is completely controllable. Issues like "how do I fix this mess?" can be avoided before they occur. Designed by lawyers, for lawyers (and staff), this program helps you master and control Word. Imagine if you spent all of your time creating content and none of it fighting the program!

Topics include: how to permanently fix Word’s default settings; how to use automatic paragraph numbering (single or multiple level); how to resolve formatting issues of any kind in any legal instrument; how to solve any page numbering issue; how to generate tables of contents and tables of authority; automation using macros, AutoText, and Quick Parts; and how to track changes, add comments, and produce redlines.

This program qualifies for 6.0 hours MCLE credit, including 6.0 hours Professionalism, Civility, or Legal Ethics credit (subject to approval).
