You do not need to read the guide in any particular order. It is broken up into chapters so that you can focus on what you need at a particular time. However, Microsoft recommended that users work their way through the entire guide as it contains much useful information. Especially useful is the guide to third-party solutions that legal users can purchase and download to enhance the power of Word in a legal setting.

	Introduction
	Basic Formatting
	Legal Numbering [tricky and important]
	Understanding Styles [the heart of Word]
	Sections, Section Breaks, and Headers-Footers
	Complex Legal Documents [Tables of Authorities, Tables of Contents, footnotes, endnotes, bookmarks & cross-references]
	Tables in the Legal Environment

	Template Basics (new chapter!)

	Confidentiality and MetaData (new: not really a chapter but some  important observations)
	Automated Boilerplate - AutoText and AutoCorrect (new draft chapter!)
	Using Fields in Microsoft Word (new draft chapter!)

Notes from revisor/supplementor (CK): One of my first professors in law school said that every subject should be taught last. By that he meant that each course in law school meant more in context of other legal knowledge. It is all interrelated and an understanding of one (seemingly unrelated) part allows a deeper understanding of every other part. A similar statement can be made of attempting to learn the maze that makes up that complex engine for document creation known as Microsoft Word. You will probably gain by re-reading the chapters in this guide after you have read and digested the other chapters.
