MS Word Legal and Corporate – So You Are a New Secretary and/or a New Administrative Assistant Volumes 1-4

MS Word Legal and Corporate – So You Are a New Secretary and/or a New Administrative Assistant Volumes 1-4 I was always lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to work in top tier firms for many years. I took positions that would allow me to get a foot in the door. I have been a Secretary/Para, Corporate trainer, outsourcing trainer, trainer for the public, Document Services Coordinator even lead operator at certain times  and of course author,   in order to gain my knowledge in top tier legal firms.  I had to go through a lot of trial by fire in order to gain knowledge and that is not always pleasant.  Working in top-tier firms gave myself and the other teachers of AdvanceTo, the inside track on how things are done in the top level firms and these methods and procedures are generally accepted in any legal firm environment. When I look back at how I acquired my knowledge, it was not always under the most calm of circumstances.  Much of the time, we had n...

MS Word Legal and Corporate - Auto Means Something Else…

MS Word Legal and Corporate - Auto Means Something Else… Scenario :  The Secretary has a cover page.  She has 5 lines centered.  Hard return after each line.  They wish to have zero space between the lines that are vertically centered as well as horizontally centered.  When she goes to Format, Paragraph, it says  Auto  next to “ Before and After .”  Still, we have space between the lines. Let’s solve the first issue and  then I will show you a better way to go about the same thing which would be the way it would be handled in most larger firms. First issue :  When the secretary sees “ Auto ” under Format , Paragraph , Before and After ,  it means 0.6  for both Before and After (1/2 line), which is why they still have space between the lines.  Once the Auto was changed to Zero (0), under Before and After , the lines tightened up as needed.   How I would do it :  They had a 5 line Cover Page.  Between each l...
