Upcoming Travel - Chicago and New York

Adriana Linares — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 14:22:00 GMT

While we are always happy to travel to a client site - we wish the winter weather in every city was more like that of the Sunshine State! I am packing it up and working a few days in Chicago (Jan 26 - 30) this week. If you are interesting in some training or consulting while I am in town, please email me. Not to be stopped by my anxiety over cold weather - I'll be on to New York for LegalTech the following week. Hope to see you there!

Custom "Tech Tips and Tricks" Newsletters for Your Firm

Adriana Linares — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:25:00 GMT

We love being creative. We love creating newsletters. People love newsletters that are informative and fun. Most law firms don't have the time or resources to create newsletters that are geared toward your own attorneys and staff and focused on your in-house technologies. We'll do it for you! You tell us what software and hardware are being used everyday by your firm and we'll create aq custom "Tech Tips Newsletter" that you can distribute and claim as your own. Here's an example of our newsletter, LawTech'Niques. We can take your firm logo and colors and customize a newsletter that you can post to your intranet or document management system or distribute via email.

Microsoft Word Document and Form Services

Adriana Linares — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 13:45:00 GMT

Working with Microsoft Word can be frustrating - especially if you've never had formal (or even informal) training. It can be even more frustrating for you or for your staff when working with a Word document that was not originally created in Word or created by you. There's a long running joke in the training and IT world that "there is no original legal document; there was ONE created 2000 years ago and we've been cutting and pasting from it ever since." How can you tell if you have old or "bad" documents? There are a couple of tell-tale signs:

If you go to make "one little change" and the document shifts, reformats, renumbers or simply does something you don't want it to do.

If you go do Tools > Options > Compatibility and the compatibility options are set to something other than the newest version of Word you are using. Many, many documents we see and work with are set to WordPerfect settings. This can cause many issues.

Does your ruler bar look like this? If so, another warning that you don't have a "pure" Word document.Those tabs are left-overs from documents of the past, more possible issues.

Given the nature of creating legal documents, the complex architecture behind Word and given it's vulnerability to metadata, it's no wonder that there are so many poorly formatted (and frustrating to work with) documents out there. We take your favorite documents and forms and recreate them from scratch, format them properly, apply styles if needed and then show you how to work with them. Contact us to learn more about how we can make your documents shine!
