With Time Of The Essence PDF Saved The Day

With Time Of The Essence PDF Saved The Day



Scenario:  Student calls and says that he has run a merge for labels and that it looks great but every time they go to print, it would not move forward because it said that the margins were in conflict.  

He had no time to figure out the margin problem with the labels.  I suggested that he save the completed merge labels as a PDF.  It froze everything in place and the conversion worked.  He sent the labels to print and it worked fine.

In this case, we opted not to trouble shoot the margin problem because of the time sensitive nature.  It worked.  Sometimes we need a sure thing shortcut to bail us out.  We can go back later to attempt to remedy the original problem.

Next time you get stumped by a particular scenario, think what can you do at this moment to get the client or the attorney something they can make use of.  You can always go back later and see if you can figure it out.

Hey Students:  AdvanceTo is offering a class based on the 3 volume set “A Walk In The Center”.  During this class, we will go through the 4 separate assignments of Volume 1 and put them together piece by piece.  The documents contained in the second and third volume are strongly within  the intermediate/advanced level and we offer those two volumes as classes as well!

The class is designed to get one used to working in a top tier Word Processing Center Environment.  We will go through the class as if we are taking care of the documentation that has been dropped off into the center to be processed.  You will learn a lot of new jargon, technique, strategy formatting and styling which you can then use to your advantage whether you are a WP Center Operator, a Secretary or Paralegal.  This class is designed to strongly increase the depth of your knowledge as to working with MS Word and Microsoft Office. You will be that much more comfortable with editing, creating and formatting documents.

This 4.5 hour hands on Zoom class costs 175.00.  Those who purchase 2 or more classes (of any type), will be given a discount.  All groups always receive a discount.  

You can check out www.awalkinthecenter.com to read about the “Walk In The Center Type Class”. On our main site www.AdvanceTo.com, we offer Basic through Advanced MS Office, Adobe/Nuance training as well as Outlook.  All classes offered by AdvanceTo include great narrative material as well as homework.

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...
