MS Office Legal and Corporate - I Can’t Open Different Programs On Two Separate Screens … Thank you Christine, for reminding me of a common issue (Extended Display), concerning working with two screens on a daily basis.   We used to work off of a paper copy for the edits and we had our one screen for MS Word and/or whatever program we were using at the moment.  Because of confidentiality, most larger firms are using the 2 screen system whereby one screen is used primarily for MS Word and the other for a PDF which represents the Mark-Up from the attorney. So with this being said, let us go over how you ensure that you can load a different program in each screen and how to hop between two screens.  Here and there people will call and ask “why can’t I load the PDF on the second screen?”  What am I missing? Turning On Extended Display (Windows 10 and11) Make your second monitor is plugged in (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C) and powered on. Go To Settings:  Right-clic...

MS Office Legal and Corporate - So the Black Line is Not Doing Its Thing Properly  Scenario :  The word processing operator is given a document that has two versions.  The document is 120 pages.  Upon doing the edits and attempting to run a document comparison, the results were not useful and not accurate.  The operator did not want to submit this document back to the attorney in its current condition.  Let’s examine some of the issues that were found. - When examining the two versions track changes were active in both versions. We went into both versions and “accepted” the proposed changes for both versions followed by turning off the Tracking process on both. - Next we looked at the multilevel outline for both documents and noted that the version 2, although it visually looked the same, the outline in version 1 used styles and the version 2 used body text styles that were manually manipulated to make the paragraphs look similar to those in version 1. - W...
