2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing; a disk would have helped. 6 April 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
The book promises "everything you need to know". I wanted to know how to add line numbers to legal pleadings, to avoid the unusual MS Wizard which cannot print double spaced numbers at the left, and instead prints linenumbers corresponding to the text (e.g., single spaced numbers when text or even caption is single spaced). This book devotes 1.5 pages to telling us to use the wizard, cautions that it cannot print the industry standardized double spaced numbers, offers the absurd suggestion to double space all text to produce double spaced numbers, then suggests "many law firms use a text box" to avoid WORD's line numbering feature, refers the reader to Chapter 9, which informs the purchaser "pleading templates require complex formatting for...line numbering" and suggests borrowing a template from a lawfirm already using Word 97! Gee, that's why I spent $30.00 for the book. Other illustrations are similarly empty of real instructional content. I see the book as a rehash of a standard MS handbook that simply substitutes "legal" for "word processing" or "typing" in the content.

As a software instructor, I found this to be as clear as 1-2-3 with enough details to satisfy any level user. However, to be a complete learning tool a diskette with sample files to play with is needful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A law office necessity for Word 97 users. 9 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Having converted from WordPerfect, I was very frustrated with some of the automatic formatting features of Word 97. Other Word 97 books I have read were not helpful in solving these problems or in making preparation of legal documents easier. That has all changed with this book. Within an hour of browsing through Word 97 for Law Firms, I found a number of very helpful suggestions in the tables, templates, and forms chapters. Even the lessons on the basics had new and helpful hints such as the pleading toolbar, auto text entries, and spiking text. I cannot say enough good things about this book, and I still have more to read and learn! I highly recommend it.
