The type of material that is imparted is high value so don’t let the price fool you. We do small and large groups that are associated with particular firms, but we also do 1 on 1 or 2 students at a time routinely.
B. All classes have great narrative materials as well as homework assignments. These are not simulations but rather the real documentation that matches what you will be experiencing when you go to work. There is also a set amount of MS Word, PowerPoint and Excel classes that we recommend.

MS Office Legal and Corporate - Sometimes It Means What It Says…
Scenario: Received a call from a frustrated user with someone waiting on a Power Point document. They needed to hold off the footer material on the “Title Slide” as requested on a Presentation they were working on. They went to Insert Footer, put in the Footer material and clicked on the little box that says “Don’t Show On Title Slide”. But, nevertheless it showed on the first slide. With me so far.
Technically they did everything right, but sometimes things are literal and that is what got this operator to have this problem.
What caused the footer material to show on the first slide of the Presentation.
“Don’t Show On Title Slide”: If you read this statement that appears on the footer Dialog Box it is literal when it says “Title Slide” meaning “Title Slide Type” NOT just the very first slide.
The operator informed me that he was using a Title and Content Slide type on the first slide of the Presentation so that is why the “Don’t Show On Title Slide” did not hold off the footer material. Once he made the first slide a “True” “Title slide type” it worked fine. The next slide forward had the footer material and the number 2 as usual. Yes, there are those situations where they want the first slide where the footer shows to have a “1” instead of a “2” but I will cover that in another write up.
Remember to carefully read everything because sometimes the answer is right in front of you!

Interact With Text From Images and the Camera On Your IPhone
You can interact with text in photos, screenshots, and the Camera app using the Live Text feature. This is useful when you may need to copy a URL or phone number from an image, and it will save you from having to memorize it so you can type it out.
To use the Live Text feature, open an image in the Photos app and long-press the text to select it. Once selected, you can use the handles to select more or less of the text. A menu will then appear above the selection with a number of options such as Copy, Select All, Look Up, Translate, and Search Web.

Modify Rather Than Manually Manipulate
So, here is the scenario. Attorney does not like the look of the completed TOC and/or TOA.
What is the problem? The Text of the Table of Contents or Table of Authorities is "crowding" the page number of the TOC and/or TOA. The attorney wants you to clean it up so that there is a distinct clear lane between the text and the page number to the extreme right.
Look at the ruler of a completed TOC or TOA. There is a right Tab sitting all the way to the right. That Tab controls your page numbers generated by the TOC and TOA. The right margin sitting in the ruler controls the right margin of the text generated by the TOC and TOA.
1. The first mistake usually made is people start to tug towards the left the right tab thinking that the tab will affect the text of the TOC and TOA. This will result in your page numbers heading towards your text.
2. The second mistake happens when people tug the right margin over towards the left which does create a clear lane all the down the TOC and TOA but, as soon as it is regenerated, you are back to square one.
3. In order to solve it for good, do the following. Either modify TOC 1 or 2 depending on the level that is encroaching on the page numbering and under Modify-Format-Paragraph, make your "Right Indent" 0.5.
4. For your TOA, modify the style "Table of Authorities" and make your "Right Indent" 0.5.
5. This will ensure that you have a clear lane and it will stay for good.
Try it out next time you run your TOC or TOA

MS Office Legal and Corporate - That’s How You Know…
Scenario: We are given a rather large document filled with Defined Terms (“NYSE”) as an example. As you know, Defined Terms establish a “short cut” so that after using the full term such as in our example “New York Stock Exchange” after the first full mention, we define it and for the remainder of the document, we can refer to that entity in its shortened form thus the use of (“NYSE”). The document was submitted with heavy edits to be done.
During the course of editing, the operator came across the request to please change all the Defined Terms to Bold Italic instead of the current Bold Font. There was numerous instances and the operator started looking for them one by one and making the requested change.
Another operator asked whether the Defined Terms were done with Character Styles or with Direct Formatting. “How would I know” responded the person doing the edits.
We can quickly ascertain the answer in a few ways. One way, is to load your “Style Box” on your “Quick Access Tool Bar” Go to File, Options, Customize Quick Access Tool Bar, change Popular Commands over to “All Commands” and look for the word “Style” by itself with no icon to the left of the word style. Add it to the right side panel of your Customize Quick Access Toolbar Window, and it will now appear on your Quick Access Toolbar.
The other way is to bring up your Apply Style Toolbar “Control Shift S”. This will give you a style box at the top window as well. Yes, you can see what style your right side panel jumps to as well.
Here is how you know whether character styles were used:
If you place your cursor within a paragraph that contains a Defined Term using an attribute such as bold, your style box will show the name of your Paragraph Style initially when placing the cursor on non Defined Term material.
If you then click on one of your Defined Terms the style name should now switch to the “Character Style” being used to bold the term. If there was no Character Style used on the Bolded Defined Term meaning “Direct Formatting” was used, then the style box will continue to show the Paragraph Style only.
If a Character Style was used to Bold all of the Defined Terms then we would simply modify the style and in our case, change it from Bold to Bold Italic and all instances throughout the document would change right away. You would also want to update the name of the style to show the added attribute to the modified style such as Bold-Italic Defined Term.
Note: Yes, you can do a global to take care of this but you have to be comfortable with wild cards. I did cover this in my wild card book MS Word Legal - Search, Replace and Wildcards which can be found on Amazon under my name. Either way, you should be familiar with the concepts that were covered in this article and it is a good thing to have the style box on your Quick Access Toolbar to serve as an easy way to always know the style your cursor is resting within.

MS Office Legal and Corporate- The Picture Had To Be Square
Scenario: An attorney had completed a booklet that he wanted to place on sale. As part of the process, the service asked for a photo that would represent the booklet etc. When the attorney tried to upload the photo, it said “Photo must be a Square”.
Never having encountered this before he reached out to his secretary who loaded the picture into a rectangle shape in Power Point and made it look like a square and then saved it as a JPEG picture file.
That too was rejected and again it said “Photo must be a Square” Hmm, So, there must be something more to this request.
After the secretary researched the request it is a “photo type” and luckily it is an easy converter that will help one create a “Square Photo”. Once she took the jpeg and put it through the converter the attorney had his square photo and the problem was solved. Go to the link below and try it out. One more thing to cross off your list.

MS Word Legal and Corporate - Use of a Photo vs Placeholder in a Slide type under the Slide Master tab.
Scenario: Most of a particular Power Point Presentation is using the “Title and Content” Slide Type. An attorney would like a Cameo like icon in the left hand corner of the Masthead portion of the slide. So essentially, at the Title Portion of the Slide, we have cameo like picture and for the rest of the Title it says Spring Entrepreneurship Seminar. The attorney has a photo of a suit and cuff links type photo as shown in our photo above.
How do we go about this: Let’s examine everything.
We could under Normal View, under Insert, bring in the small cameo like photo on the left side and do what we want to it such as placing certain effects on it or using a shape and filling the shape with a photo. Then to make our life easier, we could dupe the slide and then develop the textual or other portions of each slide as needed.
We could go to the Slide Master, go to the Title and Content “slide type” tug the Title box over around an inch or so and load the small photo in the Title Portion of the Title and Content Slide Type. Each time you invoke the Title and Content Slide Type under Normal View, that Cameo or Icon or Photo will be present the second the slide comes in. This works if everyone is set on that photo and it will be used throughout the entire Presentation in the specific way it is being used. But let’s say that is not the case…
If the situation calls for flexibility, meaning that the attorney has a number of cameo like pictures that he/she wants to use throughout the presentation next to the words “Spring Entrepreneurship Seminar” then we have a solution for that Scenario. Go back to your Slide Master. View “Slide Master”
Now go to your Title and Content Slide Type. In the “title portion”, move the text box over around an 1 inch to allow for the use of what is called a “Place Holder”. Click on the “Placeholder” button on the top left hand side of the Slide Master ribbon. For our purposes chose the “Picture” Place Holder. When it comes in it will use a box shape. If the attorney or supervisor wants an oval shape then, click on your Placeholder and choose Edit Shape (up top left), and choose the oval. You can also deal with line color and thickness here as well. Now that the Placeholder is ready in the oval shape, go back to Normal View and choose Title and Content. Click on the placeholder and load the photo of your choice.
Each time you bring in Title and Content slide type, the placeholder box will allow you to click on it and bring in the photo of your choice thus giving you the flexibility and the consistency in terms of the look of the photo no matter what photo you choose.
Placeholders can be used on any Slide Type in the Slide Master Ribbon with the exception of your top slide which is the Parent or “Master Slide”. When you can, go to your master slide and look through the slide types and you will see that many of the slide types make use of Placeholders as part of their normal makeup.

MS Office Legal and Corporate - Having Trouble Changing The Font For the Entire Document…
Scenario: We get a call. Secretary was requested to please change the current document font over to Times New Roman 12 pitch. As we have written about a number of times, the secretary modified “Normal” style and changed the font from Tahoma over to Times New Roman. She then reported that nothing had changed.
A couple of things:
First: The secretary did the right thing by modifying the Normal Style rather than using Control A and simply changing the Font. By modifying Normal, not only do you affect the look of the text on the screen, but you also affect all of the Body-text related styles as well. But, she says that nothing has changed.
Second: On the first paragraph, the style that my cursor was sitting on within the document said Body Text 0.5 SJ. That style, a non numbered paragraph with a first line indent of 0.5, Single Spaced and Justified, showed (in the pop-up info), that it was set for Times New Roman 12 when I placed my cursor over the Style name sitting in the right side style pallet. Seeing that it was set for Times New Roman told me that there must be direct formatting of the Tahoma Font Applied to the paragraphs thus the reason for the Times New Roman NOT showing through.
Third: I highlighted the first paragraph and used Control Spacebar (clear formatting), to strip off the direct formatting. Upon doing so, the paragraph immediately reverted over to Times New Roman 12.
Fourth: Control Spacebar strips “Direct Formatting” wherever it is used including Character Styles. Control Spacebar has no effect on Paragraph Style attributes thus no effect on paragraph styles applied in the document.
Fifth: The situation is solved, but if that document was using a lot of bolding, italics or underscore, you better print out that document in order to preserve (know), where those boldings and italics were used so you can reproduce them if needed.
Many people in the situation of that secretary, might have immediately used Control A followed by Control Spacebar which would have removed all of the Direct Formatting throughout the document forgetting to first print the document out! Note: You may even need to go paragraph by paragraph removing Direct Formatting in those documents that have a very heavy use of attributes such as bold, italic or underscore.

MS Office Legal and Corporate - We Are Just About to Start…
Scenario: Attorney will be doing a Power Point Presentation. She will be doing it through Zoom. She has used the same presentation concept in front of a live audience. She has 3 slides with music (that advertise her service), that will repeat in a loop until she is ready to start the presentation. She wants an easy way to click on any slide, when she is ready, so that Power Point goes to the first slide of the actual presentation. When clicked, the first actual presentation screen will load with a transition effect along with the first bullet point. That is the request.
Okay, there is a lot being requested, but in reality, not such a big deal. It is really just a series of moves and this will happen quickly.
The presentation in our case has 6 slides. Three being used as a loop for promo purposes, while waiting for the audience to fully join, and the final 3, the actual presentation portion.
Step 1. Hide slides 4-6 for the sake of our example. In this way, when we set the promo loop people will initially see, it will not go to slide 4.
Step 2. Your music file must be the first item up in your right side Animation Pane if you want the music to start right away. When you double click on the Sound Icon, under “Playback”, make sure you choose Loop and Start Automatically. Right click on the music file in your Right Side Animation Pane, choose Effect Options and tell it to stop playing after 3 slides.
Step 3: For your 3 slide show loop as a whole, go to Slide Show, Set Up Slide Show and choose Loop Continuously.
Step 4: Go to side 1. Under Insert, choose “Oval” and draw an oval over Slide 1. Make sure there is no fill color or line color. Click on the oval and go to Insert, Hyperlink and under “Place In This Document” tell it to go to Slide 4. Now copy that shape that has the Hyperlink over to Slides 2 and 3. Now when the attorney is ready to start, she can click on ANY of the looping 3 slides and the music will stop and she will be Transitioned over to slide 4.
Step 5: For slides 4-6 all bullet points should use “On Click” so that the points do not appear until you are ready for the next point. Slides 4-6 should use a Transition Effect (your choice) between each slide and you may want to set it up whereby upon the slide coming in with a Transition effect the first bullet point comes in as well. On that particular bullet point, (meaning the first bullet point on slides 4-6), you should use “With Previous” for that bullet point animation instead of “On Click”.
This request happens in one form or another more than one would think. Let us train you!

MS Word Legal and Corporate - Confusion Due To Different Versions of MS Word As Per Track Changes…
Scenario: The Attorney Does Not Want To Turn Off Track Changes. He wants the Assistant to simply edit the document with the Track Changes hidden. Because of MS Word version differences between the menus in terms of how they refer to things is causing the confusion.
In this particular scenario, in this smaller firm, the Attorney is using MS Word 365 while the Assistant is using the 2010 version of MS Word.
As you probably know, Track Changes Automatically Backlines your document as you edit the document. Generally, when you delete a word, it places “Overstrike” over the word usually in Red while Additions to the document produce a double underscore usually in Blue. Many times, when Tracking is on, making edits, with Tracking “On” can be a bit confusing. So that is why people like to hide the Tracking as they edit but the Tracking is still very much active.
A coupe of helpful tips: When it comes to the colors that are represented in the Track Changes:
For 2010, if you need to change the colors of your Track Changes document, you go to Review, Track Changes and select Options to enter the “Track Changes Options Menu”. You will then be able to change the colors of the Insertions vs the Deletions.
For 2013 and beyond, look for “Tracking” under the Review Tab, click the little box to the right of the word Tracking then choose “Advanced Options” to enter the “Track Changes Options Menu”.
Under the Review tab, if you do not wish to print the Track Changes but nevertheless, you want to keep them active, you can go to Review and choose “Final” in 2010 but in 2013 and beyond, you can choose “No Markup”.
By doing so, you will only print what has been added and the items that have been deleted will be removed from the document for purposes of the printout. In other words, you will receive a clean document but one that is representative of the fact that insertions and deletions have been Tracked behind the scenes.
Note: Keep in mind that you can also go to File-Print-Settings-Print All Pages, and De-Select “Print Markup”.
So back to the original Scenario: When you wish to edit a document in MS Word 2007-10 keeping Track Changes active but not visible you use “Final” opposed to MS Word 2013 to 365 you use “No Markup” and that is all you need to know.

Scenario: We received the request to please snap shot the menu choices in proper chronological sequence to walk an attorney through the running of a Table of Contents in MS Word including modifying certain aspects. We could have used Microsoft’s “Snip It” Tool, but we opted to use the “Snagit” Program (a popular third party program), that allows us to take the snapshot of the menu and then edit each snapshot to our liking. With me so far?
So, upon going to open the program it said I do not have the proper executable file that is needed to run and open the program. It also said reloading the program would most probably solve the issue.
I bought the program a few years ago and downloaded the program. I don’t have any CD nor do I have any receipts and the initial download is long gone.
I basically said to myself “I guess I am going to have to purchase a new copy”. I also use this program to create great “how to” videos so it is important to me that I have this available. I then decided to go to the listing of all of the programs on my laptop.
What I am about to show you will work for any program that has had minor damage and won’t open up due to a missing file.
Go to Add or Remove Programs. You can type this in your search bar on the bottom left of your screen.
Choose Apps and Features.
Find the program that you are having an issue with.
Select the program and choose Modify
You get a message that asks permission to “Modify” that PC. OK that and Choose “Repair”.
It will take a few minutes and then will give you a message that it has been repaired.
Your program should now open up.

MS Word Legal and Corporate - Focused Sessions and Benefits…
Scenario: “I don’t want a full course …I just need to know how to do a simple Merge Letter and the Corresponding Labels”. “Well, I just need to learn the proper way to do basic cross references that’s all”.
These type of requests we receive often. Not everyone wants a full course nor do they have the time. As the situations up above reflect, this type of student needs a particular item or items explained and proper narrative material supplied to bolster what was covered in the session.
Focused sessions, allow you to pinpoint a particular procedure and thoroughly explore all aspects of that procedure. You want to come out of that session saying that I really got a lot out of it and I now comfortably understand how to do it.
This type of session can be 1 hour or 2 hours. You would be surprised how much information can be imparted in a short time frame. The narrative material is designed to make sure that you can be walked through the session again as needed.
A one hour hands on Zoom session is $39.00 which includes narrative material and the ability to call if you are still having questions about how to do a procedure.
The two hour hands on Zoom session is is $89.00 but packed with information and narrative material is provided, as well as the ability to contact us for follow up questions.
Some of the items you may which to ask about are the following: Keep in mind that we consider all requests and the below are just samples:
Merge/Fillable Forms
Litigation Related: Such as Footnotes, TOC, TOA, IOT, Caption Boxes, Outlines
Corporate Related: Multilevel Outlines, Signatures, Cross References, Financial Tables
Doc Compare, Track Changes, Doc Combine.
Power Point: Anything from Master Slides to Presentations.
Formatting Scenarios: Going over any situation that caused you to scratch your head and say “how would you do that”? Any topic from the Formatting Scenarios Volumes 1 and 2 TOC will be entertained.
If you have a particular item(s) that has been a gap in your overall knowledge then this might be the best way to finally take care of it. We hold classes during the week as well as weekends.

MS Word Legal and Corporate MS Office Training - The Last Search and Replace Stays In Place…
Scenario: A Word Processing Operator is going through a document piece by piece replacing a specific item that changes slightly in certain areas of each separate paragraph. They called me to ask if there is a better way instead of doing the change one by one. They can’t do a wholesale change (Control A Find and Replace), because the slight alteration would affect the whole document with only one of the iterations of the global.
I asked why are you not using Find and Replace? They responded that they did not want to keep setting up the particular Global Replace again and again.
I then responded that for one, you will highlight the particular piece in the paragraph that you need to globally replace. By highlighting the piece, your global replace function will stop when it has gone through the highlighted material. It will then ask whether you want to continue and you simply select no.
Finally, you won’t have to set up the Find and Replace over and over again since the last Find and Replace set up will always be there for you so you just have to “slightly change” the Find What area and Replace With area if needed.
Unless you close out of MS Word, the last Find and Replace will always be waiting for you upon using Control H.

Thank you for Contemplating the purchase of the Daily Journal entitled “Secretarial Journal For 2025”. I have based this journal off of my book series “Awareness Explosion Volumes 1-5” which is on Amazon as Kindle and softcover books. Each and every day will provide you with a “how to” which is carefully designed to bolster your knowledge of MS Office especially when it comes to MS Word. By the end of the year, you will have at the very least, doubled your current knowledge. I made sure that each and every day has a “how to” of high value and I composed them in a way to enable you to make use of this great information right away. We do corporate training ([email protected]) and I have brought valuable info to the hands of those who want to learn day by day.
For those who use MS Word on a daily basis this is a learning tool and a useful journal. This is a great Journal Book for personal use or as a gift!

Use Left Indent or First Line Indent - Depends On The Situation
Scenario: We have what is referred to as a side Heading. It is not part of the Multilevel Outline, but serves as a heading for a series of paragraphs. It looks like the following:
The Executive Board:
Paragraph Text Paragraph Text Paragraph Text Paragraph Text Paragraph Text Paragraph Text .
Paragraph Text Paragraph Text Paragraph Text Paragraph Text Paragraph Text Paragraph Text .
So here is the point. I would most probably name the style Side Heading 0.5 Bold Italic. When I create the style, there are two ways that I can get the heading to be “pushed” in 0.5 from the left margin. Under Format, Paragraph, I could either use in my style, Indentation Left 0.5 or under Special, I could use First Line Indent 0.5. Either one would achieve what is needed.
Since you are NOT dealing with a true paragraph for the situation, it would be proper to simply use “Indentation Left” over “First Line Indent”.
When doing Document Automation, the more intricacies you know, the easier automating documents becomes.
Training From An Inside Perspective
We routinely and thoroughly go over Style Separator scenarios, Multilevel Outlines, Cross References, TOC, TOA, Index Of Terms, Strategy and so much more!

We have offered “ask anything you want” before and it was very helpful to those who took part.
You see, many people in our industry know a lot and have been exposed to a lot but nevertheless have questions about the software that they need to have answered. The questions usually involved a missing step but on many occasions, they involved going through a procedure from beginning to end.
This two hour session is a 1 on 1 or a small group at the most which includes narrative material to memorialize those questions that we went over and this will be provided to you post session. You are the one who asks the questions. Our job is to answer each question as thoroughly as we can. You can ask one question or 10 questions. It’s your choice.
Don’t worry, we will also supply documents so that we have material to use as we go over each question. Remember, this is hands on Zoom or Phone class so you just don’t sit there - you will go through the items with us.

Power Point:
Working With Master Slides
