MS Office Legal and Corporate - Editing text in Footnotes Easily

MS Office Legal and Corporate - Editing text in Footnotes Easily

Scenario:  The secretary is working on a document with a lot of footnotes.  The attorney has given her a heavy markup which includes a lot of edits to the separate footnotes that reside at the bottom of each page.  There are about 70 footnotes in total. She asked if there is a faster way to plough through the editing of the footnotes as soon as she gets the edits in the regular part of the document done.

Okay to start out with some basics:  We can edit footnotes directly in Print Layout view in Word by clicking on the footnote text at the bottom of the page and making your edits.  But there is a better way to go about this:

When in Draft View:  Go to your “References” tab and look at the left side of the ribbon.  Look for “Show Notes”.  It acts as a toggle.  Click it on and all of your footnotes will be displayed at the bottom of your screen one after another.  That is how I wouid edit the footnotes because of the easy access and I do not have to go to the bottom of each individual page.  Rather, I can edit each one right in the same location making it easy access.  Show Notes opens and closes the footnote area on the bottom of your screen when in Draft View.  

Next time you have a load of footnotes to edit use the “Show Notes” method and make your life easier.

Give Yourself The Edge Over Others In The Industry.  The more you know, the more opportunities will come your way and the more comfortable you will be.

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 ...
