Going To A Particular Page and Going To The First Page of a Chapter in Adobe PDF

Going To A Particular Page and Going To The First Page of a Chapter in Adobe PDF



Scenario:  So, we are alerted that one of our attorneys is going to give a talk and he needs someone to come with him that will be able to jump around in the PDF as needed so that those attending the event will see what is needed on the screen at that moment using the overhead projector. With me so far?

  1.  In order to get the PDF to act accordingly, our MS Word Document needs a Table of Contents that is using the “Insert As Hyperlink” selection.  When running your TOC with the Hyperlink selection, when we convert it to PDF, just clicking on a particular entry in the TOC will take us to the first page of the selected Chapter.
  2. When in the PDF, in order to get to a particular page of the PDF outside of the TOC you use this shortcut "Ctrl + Shift + N"; on Mac OS, it is "Cmd + Shift + N". This brings up a dialog box to go to a specific page number.
  3. Now that these two items are in place, people ask how can I quickly get back to the top of the document?  Just like in MS Word, Control Home to go to the top of the document and Control End to go to the last page of the document.

Sizing Up Your Documents When Setting Them Up From Scratch!

Sizing Up Your Documents When Setting Them Up From Scratch! Scenario : An attorney brings to you a document that is composed of hand written pages, typed up pages that will be inserts, some of the typed up pages have document numbers where you can grab the material without having to type the insert related material.   The attorney has asked you to please create a TOC, TOA and Index of Terms page.  You are also informed that there will be an Exhibit A and B in the back of the documen t.  So knowing this info upfront, how do we go about segmenting the document into its proper sections? Of course we need a cover page.  Most probably it will need a border and will be centered vertically on the screen.  Therefore we need a Section Break “Next Page ” after our cover page. For our TOC, TOA and Index Pages, we need a page break after the TOC, a page break after the TOA and a Section Break “Next Page” after the Index of Terms page.  This second section will ...

MS Office Legal and Corporate - Dealing With Building Blocks - Another Way To Avoid Having To Do Things Again and Again… Scenario :  A number of years ago, when working as Coordinator in a word processing center, I had a document that I called “ Pieces ”.  That was my junk yard for pieces of documents such as all types of Caption Boxes, Signature blocks, Financial Tables, Red Herring Boxes, Line Numbering Boxes and other items that I used on a regular basis.  By having them in the pieces document, I gave myself a huge head start.  Well, at that time, I had known about Building Blocks but never used them.  Well, you can use my “Pieces” concept or better yet, an organized way to capture and keep vital items that pop up again and again so you are always in a position to never have to do them from scratch . How to create a building block; Highlight the content you want to save, which can include text, images, tables, or other elements. Go to the Insert tab , find th...
