Unlike anything else in the field, June 25, 2009
This review is from: Formatting Legal Documents With Microsoft Office Word 2007 (Paperback)
You can really tell this was written by someone who actually does legal word processing for a living. There are many. many tricks and hidden features (not to mention things NOT to do) in this book. It deals with the program on a professional's level with an accent on doing things quickly - lots and lots on keyboard shortcuts and macros. If you do legal word processing for money, you want this book.

You need this book!, August 13, 2009
This review is from: Formatting Legal Documents With Microsoft Office Word 2007 (Paperback)
Our legal office has used WordPerfect for years. However, in the past year, the newer generation attorneys being hired use Microsoft Office Word 2007. As legal secretaries we have had a hard time transitioning from WordPerfect to Word. Letters in Word were no problem. However, when it came to pleadings we definitely struggled. For example, we could not line up the words to the numbers on the pleading paper, etc. I searched the internet to find a book that would help us learn what we were doing wrong. I came across this book and it was exactly what we needed. As mentioned by previous reviewers, this book teaches you all the shortcuts and tricks needed to do your job quickly and efficiently. On the last page of the book, there is a discount coupon for a training session with Ms. Berinstein. Our secretarial staff signed up for a training session. If you get a chance, you should do so too. Jan is wonderful! She has helped us tremendously. I would not say we are experts at Word now, but we are getting there! I highly recommend this book. It is well worth the money as is the training session.

You don't have to be in a law office, January 21, 2010
This review is from: Formatting Legal Documents With Microsoft Office Word 2007 (Paperback)
The title of this book correctly states "Legal Documents" but the content applies to any type of document. In over 15 years of training people on Microsoft Word, I still find the majority do not use styles, have never created a Table of Contents, and waste a huge amount of time formatting. And I won't go into most users not knowing keystroke shortcuts.
This is where Jan Berinstein comes in with a well-written, easy to follow, and properly organized book that will show any Word user how to format their document. If the reader only looks at the lesson on styles, he will learn how to get a more properly formatted document that is much easier to modify.
If you want to take control of Word, you need this book. Using the lessons will allow you to leave work at least one hour earlier (if only in your mind).
Click the button and order this now. Then, sit back and learn how to conquer Microsoft Word.
