When you need jury instructions in your cases, you don’t have to create two separate documents - one for the judge, including citations at the bottom the page and another for the jury sans the citations.

This is a quick trick that will save you time and keystrokes, which of course is what I just love! Follow the steps below to learn how:

1. Create your Jury Instructions for the judge, complete with citations.
2. Now select the citations at the bottom of the page.
3. Click on Format | Font.
4. Under Effects, select Hidden, which will hide the citation text.
5. When you are ready to print the judge’s Jury Instructions, click on File | Print or use the shortcut CTRL + P.
6. From the Print menu, click the Options button.
7. From the Print dialog box, select Hidden Text under Include with Document.
8. Click OK two times to close the dialog box and print the document with cites.

Viola!  Trust me, I know how to save time in a law office!
