Legal Users Guide

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.

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 he

Good luck,

Is there a Legal Users Guide for Word 2007?

If not, does anyone know if one is planned?

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

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. ;-)

Kevin - have you contacted Payne? They are the ones that wrote that last
several versions.
