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...

MS Office Legal and Corporate - They Want The Watermark To Appear In One Particular Section… Scenario :  Received a call.  The document has a cover page followed by a two page letter.  The attorney only wants the Watermark on pages 2 and 3 but not the cover.  When the secretary went to the Design Tab and Inserted her “ DRAFT ” watermark it displayed on all three pages. The question becomes how do we implement a watermark on a particular section. At the bottom of page 1 insert a Section Break “Next Page” type break instead of a plain Page Break.  You will find the Sections under your “Layout” Tab in 2016 and above and Page Layout in Version 7, 10 and 13. On Page 2, (which is Section 2), open up your Header and immediately turn off Link To Previous .  This will prevent your watermark from appearing on page 1 which resides in Section 1.   Design Tab :  Right Side.  Apply the watermark to this open header which is the section in which you want it...

MS Office Legal and Corporate - So the Black Line is Not Doing Its Thing Properly  Scenario :  The word processing operator is given a document that has two versions.  The document is 120 pages.  Upon doing the edits and attempting to run a document comparison, the results were not useful and not accurate.  The operator did not want to submit this document back to the attorney in its current condition.  Let’s examine some of the issues that were found. - When examining the two versions track changes were active in both versions. We went into both versions and “accepted” the proposed changes for both versions followed by turning off the Tracking process on both. - Next we looked at the multilevel outline for both documents and noted that the version 2, although it visually looked the same, the outline in version 1 used styles and the version 2 used body text styles that were manually manipulated to make the paragraphs look similar to those in version 1. - W...

MS Office Legal and Corporate:  It’s Usually The Same Type of Situation With A Number of Variations… Scenario :  So an operator gets in touch and they have a number of issues with setting up documents from scratch namely multilevel outlines.  Even though they have been working in the environment for some time, they still have glitches and issues that are not resolved.  I will let you know what the issue was in a moment.  Another issue this person brought up, is that each time a question is asked, depending on the issue, they receive multiple different answers and sometimes conflicting which is why we were called.
