Tell Microsoft What you Think of MS Office 2007

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Many of my subscribers are now using Office 2007 and many of them have written to me expressing either gratitude or extreme frustration about this latest version of MS Office.

As a result of the voluminous mail I have received regarding Office 2007, I thought everyone would like to have an address to which they can write to make their voices heard in this regard.

Click on the link below to let the folks at Microsoft hear your raves or rants about this version of MS Office. They DO listen and can effect changes if enough voices are heard.

Creating Jury Instructions

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

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!
