Microsoft Word 2003 for Law Firms

Working in legal recruiting I am so surprised at how few individuals there are who are proficient in MS Word, especially using styles for either word processing or litigation secretary. This book should be given to secretaries who are working in firms, by the firms, as a work book. It is a very essential tool for getting things done in Legal.

Our small firm recently upgraded from Word 97 to Word 2003. I don't think we could have done it without the help of this book. Word 2003 for Law Firms provided all of the information we needed to understand the 'pitfalls' and new features in Word 2003. Hats off to the writers for providing such a great resource!

When we decided to upgrade from Word 97 to Word 2003, I was worried about how I was going to learn all of the changes quickly. Since we didn't upgrade to Word XP (and I think there was another version before that even that we didn't go to)there was much to learn. For Word 97, the book Word 97 for Law Firms also by this author was my bible. This new book is even better and I'm happy to recommend it to anyone who uses Word in a law firm and needs to get up to speed quickly. It has a CD with practice files on it and there is a chapter on metadata (which my attorneys have been asking me about), and a great chapter on complex documents. The price of this book is a lot less expensive than a training class and it does a good job of covering all of the information that I need to know about.
