Part 1: Customizing Word for the Law Office, Security Issues, and Reviewing Documents
The first issue legal users of Microsoft Word will encounter is that its default settings aren’t suitable for the purposes of a law office. The first half of this seminar will teach you how to customize Word’s interface, formatting, and automations to ensure they’re assisting you, rather than complicating your tasks.
The second half of the seminar will address various features of word related to document security as well as editing and reviewing. It will cover important security and confidentiality procedures for ensuring that electronically shared documents meet the confidentiality requirements under the Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6, when to use .docx files vs .pdf files, how to propose edits and comments and apply them using the track changes feature, and how to directly compare the differences between two documents and merge them.
