Modifying  the styles that represent the Footnote numbers vs. the Footnote Text . What Styles Control A Footnote?  If you want to see this clearly, turn on your Apply Styles Toolbar “ Control Shift S ”.  The second you highlight the individual components, the style name will show up in the window of the Apply Styles Toolbar. 1. Suppose  the attorney wanted an alteration to the size of the Text or the look of the Text or Reference Number.   2.

    Sometimes You Have To Use Add Tab Stop.., Once In A While You Have To Use Add Tab Stop.., So, what is going on in this scenario? Example: Heading 1. Part 1.Termination Provisions(Hard Return) In the scenario above, we have a Heading 1, whereby the word " Part " and the automated "1" represent the Numbering aspect of the Heading 1 in the Multilevel Outline.  The Textual Aspect of the Heading 1 is the words " Termination Provisions " which is controlled by Modifying Heading 1 itself and adding your Font and Paragraph related attributes, Note :  In the Heading 1 sample above, note that the word " Termination " is very close to the auto number 1 and can use some space. 1.  Normally, in your Multilevel Dialog Box, we choose " Follow Number With Tab Characte r" which usually gives us a complimentary 0.5 spacing between the Numbering and Textual Aspect of the Heading,  in the case above, it did not, so we have to use " Add Tab Stop ...

MS Office Legal and Corporate - Making Sure That The Picture Size Matches All The Way Through… Scenario :  The secretary had to take a series of different JPEG pictures and place them within various cells of a table.  The attorney asked that the size of the photos be exactly the same throughout.  After clicking on a “particular” JPEG photo, she would use the “handles” of the photo in order to size it out but it is very hard to determine that each one is the exact same size as the other. So how can we make this scenario a bit easier?  For one, we can get the picture looking the way we want and then copy the photo ( control C ), each time we need that same picture elsewhere. We can also click on the photo, go to “ Picture Format ”, and on the right side, of that ribbon you will see the area that you fill in Height and Width .  So, if you get the photo size exactly the way you want then, you should take note of the height and width that it shows under Picture Form...

Table of Contents and Cross References Conversion Over To PDF.  How Is It Different? Scenario :  We have been working on a large document all day inserting Cross References and doing edits.  It’s over 100 pages.  The attorney around mid day informs us that he is going to have us convert the document to a PDF file and wants that PDF file to have active links for both the TOC as well as the Cross References.  Now that we know what is expected of us, let’s us go over what we need to do for the TOC and the Cross References. For the Table of Contents :  Normally after you run your TOC in MS Word, when you place your cursor on the page number a pop-up comes up that says “ Control Click ” to follow Hyperlink .  Upon doing so, you are then taken to that area of your document within Word.  If you were then to save the file as a PDF, the page numbers would not be active links in the PDF.   So when running your TOC in this scenario, you should make sure...

Removing Word Art Styles From Text In PowerPoint and MS Word. Since 2007 MS PowerPoint has improved the Word Art Styles (under Drawing Tools) that give you a lot more choices that can quickly be applied to text.    You also get to "try on"each look by simply placing your cursor over the particular color scheme that catches you eye. It then will show you the look as you go from color to color.    In this way, you don't have to apply anything until you find what you want. It is not quickly apparent how to remove the attribute altogether if you decide you want the Word Art Style to be taken off that piece of text.   This can save you a lot of valuable time if you need to have it removed. To remove the Word Art Attribute  1.     Highlight the text that has the Word Art you wish to remove. 2.    Go to your Home Tab. 3.     In your Font area (to the right of "Decrease Font" and to the left of your "Bullets" button) loo...

Keeping The Original Formatting In The Table Of Authorities. When we are putting together a Table of Authorities, we usually underscore the cases or we italicize the cases within the document, It is up to the attorney of course as to what he/she might prefer. I can tell you that around 75% of the time they use underscore while the remainder uses Italic for the Citations. A Table of Authorities is an extraction (listing) of Cases , Statutes (laws), Rules (Rules and Procedures of a particular court) - and other items that are used when putting together a litigation document that serve to support the facts and legal issues of the current case. So after we go through a Table of Authorities and mark all of the Cases, Statutes and Rules etc. within the document, we then turn our attention to running the Table of Authorities. 1. Go to your References Tab . Click on the little Icon next to the Mark Citation Button (Right Side of Screen) 2. When your Table of Authorities Dialog box opens, y...
