Is there a Legal Users Guide for Word 2007?

If not, does anyone know if one is planned?
 
I will not be as sarcastic as you,

See
http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/...62-e869-487a-919d-f408d3918d31&displaylang=en

Unless I copied the link incorrectly (I may have, since I am not an expert
computer user) you will find the Legal Users Guide for Word 2002. It is a
number of "Chapters" on using Word in a law office setting.

That was meant as humor, not sarcasm.

Have you tried downloading that file to see if the content still applies?
Sure, you'll need a different way to access the various commands, but a .5
indent is still a .5 indent regardless of how you create it.

So "Legal Users Guide" is not really the best way of expressing your
request, is it? And are you studying/qualified as a lawyer? I wouldn't want
you as MY lawyer if your English ability founders on something as simple as
this....
 
You are correct Gordon, I should have said "Word 2007 Legal Users Guide" as
opposed to the currently existing "Word 97 Legal Users Guide"
and "Word 2002 Legal Users Guide".
I guess Legal Users Guide was far to abstract a name.
 
A quick search on Google for "Legal Users Guide" would have told you what he
was looking for:

Personally I think his question was expressed just fine. I knew what he was
referring to and I'm sure would many of the Word MVPs would know about it
too. :-)

Thank you Beth. I did that search before I and found nothing relating to
Word 2007.
That is why I posed the question. I suppose my assumption that it does not
exist is valid, I am interested if anyone knows if it may be in the Works.
The Word 2002 version was done because of the major changes from Word 97.
The changes in Word 2007 can likewise be culture shock.

Sorry, Kevin, I was pointing out that a quick Google search would provide
the answer to "what is the Legal Users Guide" and what you were referring
to.

In regards to your question, I have no idea if one is in the works for Word
2007 which is why I didn't try to provide you with an answer. If I don't
know I usually don't respond. That way I don't waste your time or get your
hopes up when you see a response to your question. Ideally, that's how the
newsgroups work -- if you don't have an answer then don't respond and leave
it for someone who does. :-)

I don't know what books are planned, but using Donna Payne's Book Word 2003
for Law Firms has much that applies to Word 2007 that would be useful for
any law firm, law student, lawyer or *pro se trying to litigate. "craft" aka
write on the street motions or other pleadings, despite all the changes and
updates incorporated in Word 2007 including the ribbon.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0975336800/ref=sip_pdp_dp_0

It seems to be out of print, but possibly if you look around on the web you
can find it. I also see some useful free help sites here:

Good luck,

Hi Chad,

The Word 2003 for Law Firms book (and Excel for Law Firms) are available from Donna's http://payneconsulting.com website in PDF
format.
In a recent Webinar Donna mentioned that there will be a Word 2007 version of the book 'soon' <g>.

There is a whitepaper on Office 2007 (no charge <g>) but no mention of a Word 2007 book , although there is a contact link there.
Payne Consulting announced some new versions of their tools in January, such as the Forms Assistant and speaks on benefits of
upgrading to Office 2007, so it may just be that there's not been time to update the website :)

An interesting 'top 10' list from Payne Consulting in PDF at
http://freewebs.com/philawinlaw/Payne's Top Office 2007 Features List.pdf

Thanks Bob and Chad. :-)

I figured someone would have the answer Kevin was looking for eventually.
suspected Donna would continue doing something for those using Word in law
firms, perhaps not another Legal Users Guide, but something at least but had
no idea if anything was in the works.

Now let's just hope Kevin is still following and didn't give up on this
thread. ;-)
