Mastering MS Word: Formatting Complex Pleadings
3 CLE (NLS) - Wednesday, March 8; 9:00 A.M. - 12:15 P.M.
LIVE WEBCAST ONLY - From your home or office
One of the most difficult technical tasks one can undertake is formatting a complex brief in Microsoft Word that has a title page, table of contents, table of authorities, multi-level paragraph numbering, and page numbering that starts over in the middle of the document and switches formats (for example, Romanettes to Arabic).
In this seminar, you'll be able to download our customizable appellate brief template (7th Circuit Court of Appeals) and follow along on your own computer as we demonstrate how to use the built-in formatting tools (also known as Word Styles), as well as create and update a table of contents and table of authorities.
We'll also show you how to easily customize the template for any font, point size or paragraph alignment you may want. The heavy lifting is already done, and if you use this template as the starting point for your next brief, you'll shave many hours off the process because the formatting will just work.
