MS Office Legal and Corporate Secretarial and Word Processing Training - When You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know…

MS Office Legal and Corporate Secretarial and Word Processing Training - When You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know…

There are so many people who do Secretarial, Word Processing and Administrative work that have a huge disparity when it comes to overall knowledge of the software they work with every day.

Most have never taken formal training and many have had the piecemeal training that many firms impart to their new employees.  Most firms are not in position to give in depth training to the staff since it would keep those employees away from their duties for too long a period of time so they show what they can.  This is basically the “need to know basis”.  They do a good job to get them operating, but they can’t layer the training like we can.

On the other hand, we don’t have the constraints of a legal or corporate firm.  From day 1, our students receive an in depth thorough hands on set of Zoom classes working on both Litigation and Corporate documentation.  They work on the very document types that they will encounter at work.  Our students go through a multitude of documents in terms of formatting, styling and automating.  For those already in the industry, we fill in all of the gaps and finally the entire picture is clear.  For those who are new to the industry, they are exposed to numerous concepts, procedures, vocabulary, legal document types and they learn the methods employed at top-tier firms.  

This thorough approach places them in position to compete for jobs in major firms down to the single practitioner.

Most students did not realize how many topics and concepts were unknown to them.

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?
