MS Office Legal and Corporate - Batch Printing

Image
  MS Office Legal and Corporate - Batch Printing Scenario :  The attorney has asked the secretary to print all of the files that are in a zip folder that he had sent to her email.  She downloaded the zip folder and copied the zip folder to her desktop right clicked and extracted the folder.  There were 30 files in the folder and she was wondering if she had to print in at a time.  Let’s go over how she could handle the request using MS Word. Methods for Batch Printing Word Documents Windows File Explorer (Fastest): Go to the folder containing the Word documents that you have been asked to print. If you have “15 or less” files you can do Ctrl+A  (to grab all 15), or hold  Ctr, while clicking on the files you wish to print let us say 5 at a time. Right-click on any selected file(s) and select  Print . Note: This works best for 15 files or fewer, as the option may disappear with more files. Merge into One Document (Large Batches):  Not crazy abo...

MS Office Legal and Corporate - Editing text in Footnotes Easily

MS Office Legal and Corporate - Editing text in Footnotes Easily Scenario :  The secretary is working on a document with a lot of footnotes.  The attorney has given her a heavy markup which includes a lot of edits to the separate footnotes that reside at the bottom of each page.  There are about 70 footnotes in total. She asked if there is a faster way to plough through the editing of the footnotes as soon as she gets the edits in the regular part of the document done . Okay to start out with some basics:  We can edit footnotes directly in Print Layout view in Word by clicking on the footnote text at the bottom of the page and making your edits.  But there is a better way to go about this: When in Draft View :  Go to your “ References ” tab and look at the left side of the ribbon.  Look for “ Show Notes ”.  It acts as a toggle .  Click it on and all of your footnotes will be displayed at the bottom of your screen one after another.   Th...

MS Office Legal and Corporate - I Can’t Open Different Programs On Two Separate Screens…

MS Office Legal and Corporate - I Can’t Open Different Programs On Two Separate Screens … Thank you Christine, for reminding me of a common issue (Extended Display), concerning working with two screens on a daily basis.   We used to work off of a paper copy for the edits and we had our one screen for MS Word and/or whatever program we were using at the moment.  Because of confidentiality, most larger firms are using the 2 screen system whereby one screen is used primarily for MS Word and the other for a PDF which represents the Mark-Up from the attorney. So with this being said, let us go over how you ensure that you can load a different program in each screen and how to hop between two screens.  Here and there people will call and ask “why can’t I load the PDF on the second screen?”  What am I missing? Turning On Extended Display (Windows 10 and11) Make your second monitor is plugged in (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C) and powered on. Go To Settings:  Right-clic...
