Properly Producing The Gap...

 Properly Producing The Gap...



Scenario:  
We have a Heading 1 Centered:

Article 1 (Soft Return) 
(1 line Gap)
Introduction (Hard Return)

Above, we have the situation of a centered Heading 1.  Between Article 1 and the "Introduction" line there is a gap of 1 line which is the look that the author wanted for that level.  The question then becomes how do we properly produce the gap?

1.  The Soft Return (shift enter), after the Article line enables the system to look at the Heading 1 style as one piece instead of 2 separate pieces if we were to leave  a hard return on the "Article" line.  We want both lines to react immediately from the one application of Heading 1.

2.  Some people will use an additional
soft return after the Article line in order to produce the gap.

3.  So, how to properly produce the gap?  You produce the gap in the textual aspect of Heading 1.  You modify and set the Heading for Double Spacing (under Paragraph) and you make sure that Before and After Spacing is set to Zero.

4.  By setting the Heading for Double Spacing, there is no need for the extra soft return that would have had to be applied by direct formatting throughout the entire document.

5.  Your document will look clean and your document is totally controlled and automated by styles and not direct formatting.

   Extracting All Hyperlinks From A Document: Scenario :  The attorney has submitted to the WP Center a large file for editing.  This file contains many hyperlinks as well.  The attorney asked us to (besides editing the document), to extract all hyperlinks to a separate document.  They want to have handy, a listing of all of the hyperlinks that were used in one easy place to go through them so that they do not have to go throughout the document looking for them.

   MS Word Legal:  The Strategy Session Volume 2 Getting Ready and Structure First:  Clearing up those Issues From The Very Start That Tend To Hold Us Back… Authored by Louis Ellman  Clearing up the very thing that confuses most new MS Word users that is of course  Page Numbering and Section Breaks!   I wrote this book only a few years ago but it holds up fine and our students use these methods every day! We teach for the public, top-tier legal firms, outsource legal staff, large corporations and we consistently see one thing that they all have in common: They do not have a routine that they use before they ever start editing a document.  Also, they do not have a routine that they use to properly segment, page number and title all items relating to structure.  This is across the board.  This book goes over these routines piece by piece and this is the same vital and unique info that we personally share with our students including ma...
