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… 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!
