MOVING PARAGRAPHS USING MS WORD IN LEGAL DOCUMENTS

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

It can be very frustrating and time consuming after you have completed a lengthy document, such as a Deed, Power of Attorney, etc. and then you have to move your paragraphs either up or down in your document.

Of course, you can always use the old cut and paste method, but that in itself can be time consuming and we all know that I am all about saving time and keystrokes. There is a better method to use when you need to move the paragraphs in your document and it is quick and efficient!

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Click one in the paragraph you would like to move.
  2. Hold down the Shift and Alt keys simultaneously and at the same time use either your up or down arrow.

Works like magic!  Go ahead and try it – you’e gonna love it! 

So you do not forget this handly little tip, make a note in MS Outlook and save it.  Then you can quickly check when you need it again.

Create a Distribution List in MS Outlook from a List

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

We have all received e-mail at one time or another that has a list of fifty or so addresses of a group that we belong to and there may come a time when you have to send an e-mail to all of those folks as well, but you don’t know how to create the distribution list without tediously keying in all fifty or so addresses.

The good news is that there is a quick and easy way to accomplish this task!

Follow the steps below to learn how:

*      Select and copy list of e-mail addresses.

*      Open your Contacts folder.

*      Click on File | New | Distribution List.

*      Click on Select Members.

*      In the Name of Distribution List box, key in a name that is intuitive for you for this group.

*      Click on Select Members.

*      The Select Members dialog box will open.

*      At the bottom, where it says Add to Distribution List, you will notice a box that says Members.

*      Click in the box and paste your list.

*      Click OK.

*      Click Save and Close.

It doesn’t get much easier than this!

Moving MS Outlook Appointments

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

 

 

Someone in the office today was griping about what a pain it is to change appointments in MS Outlook when the date is changed.

I showed him just how easily this can be accomplished. Suppose the time of your appointment has changed. All you have to do in your daily detail is drag and drop your appointment to the new time!  It doesn’t get much simpler than that.

So too, you can drag an appointment to a different date. Just click it and drag it to any day on the screen. If the date isn’t showing, simply drag it up to the small calendar in the corner and drop it on the date.

You will find that your appointment has been rescheduled to the new date!  I am all about saving time and keystrokes!
