Mastering Microsoft Word in the Law Office
Are you tired of wrestling with Word every time you have to draft something more complex than a letter? Do you wish you could control Word’s formatting and gain a better understanding of how it works? Do you miss WordPerfect? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, this is your class! Word classes designed for the general public just don’t address the issues legal professionals face when drafting legal instruments. By contrast, this class is designed by lawyers, for lawyers.
