4.0 out of 5 stars
More Than A Rehash of The Previous Edition,
By Ruth Edlund "dark goddess of replevin" (King County, Washington:) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Microsoft Word 2000 for Law Firms (Miscellaneous) (Paperback)
I bought the edition for Word 2000 with some trepidation, concerned that it would be only a rehash of the (excellent) edition for Word 97. However, I found that it has been updated very thoroughly to reflect the functional differences between Word 97 and Word 2000. It remains a very useful reference for sole practitioners who automate their own document generation. The reason it only rates 4 stars: I would have preferred a more robust description of the uses to which fields can be put in automating pleading (and other legal document) generating.

Word 2000 for Law Firms,
By Debbie Kerner (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Word 2000 for Law Firms (Miscellaneous) (Paperback)
I was nervous when we decided to switch our word processing system from WP51 to Word 2000. This book helped tremendously. It is specifically geared toward lawyers and the types of documents we generate. I found this book to be a useful resource during our transition.

good book for lawyers and legal types,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Word 2000 for Law Firms (Miscellaneous) (Paperback)
This covers some pretty good material. She speaks frequently on this stuff and really knows the topics. This is more of a Word book - if you are like most lawyers transition from WP to Word, then I'd get "Word for Dummies" - if you are into hardcore document programming then I'd get "Learn Word 2000 VBA Document Automation"Overall, if you are in the legal field - this book should be on your bookshelf
