Microsoft Word is the most important technology for legal writers, but few lawyers know how to use it effectively. I made the one-hour screencast below to show my Advanced Legal Writing students at UCLA Law how to increase their productivity with the software.

Topics covered in the screencast include:

Understanding and changing templates
Working with styles
Working with footnotes
Creating hanging indents
Creating helpful keyboard shortcuts
Setting up a table of contents and table of authorities
Creating images and captions
Using the keyboard to navigate text quickly
Various other tricks

I hope you find the screencast helpful. If you do, please share this post with your networks.
