Eight Handy Tools in Microsoft Word You Probably Don't Know About - Solutions by PC Magazine

Link: Eight Handy Tools in Microsoft Word You Probably Don't Know About - Solutions by PC Magazine. Okay, I like and use WordPerfect every day. However, I sometimes am forced to send documents in Word format to other lawyers and clients who don't share my iconoclastic loyalty to the first great word processor. So, in deference to you Word users, here is Neil Rubenking's take on 8 underused Word tools; some of which are great for lawyers. The Florida Bar, and others, have opined that it is unethical to mine documents for metadata (hidden information about a document such as revision histories, etc.) that can be embarrassing or damaging in legal documents. However, it is still incumbent upon careful lawyers to make sure you don't send out documents that carry such information (better safe than sorry). My favorite tool, highlighted here, is the Document Inspector, that will reveal the stuff you might want to keep confidendtial. The compare tool is very useful to find out whether a document that comes back to you has changes in it. Be careful out there. Friends don't let friends use Word. But, if they insist, help them.
