The holidays are past us now and it seems that everyone is rushing to compile a list of bests for 2011!
I am happy to report that Microsoft has created a list as well and one that could be quite useful to you. Although they scaled it down to a list of the top five, their list of five ways Word works for you really packs a punch and you will not want to miss them!
The list can be found here.
Enjoy!
If you are employed in the legal arena, then you know that there are always lots of fun little footnotes in your documents, especially if you are still in law school. Believe it or not, I grew a lawyer – yes, my son is an attorney at law so I know of what I speak. You will note the Baltimore Injury Lawyer Blog on my Blog Roll – yep, that’s my boy!
I think I speak for lawyers and legal assistants everywhere when I say that it is a big old pain in the butt to click on Insert | Reference | Footnote every time you need a footnote in your document. So I will share this handy dandy hot key that will make your life sooooo much easier. My mantra is save time and keystrokes!
MS Word has a nifty hot key that will insert a footnote for you no matter where your cursor is sitting in your document. See below for the magic key combination:
Abra cadabra! You now have a footnote – just enter the text. I really do know how to save time in a law office don’t I?
