Extreme Makeover   

 

Have you ever watched "Extreme Makeover, Home Edition?" I confess, I have watched a few times.  This heart-warming show, which aired on ABC, selected a "deserving family" and completely "made over" their home.  It looked to me like they rebuilt from the ground up! 

Welcome to IntelliWord's COMPLETELY-MADE-OVER newsletter.  Our goal was to make it easier to read while providing helpful information about PracticeMaster, Tabs3, Worldox, Timeslips, Amicus Attorney and Microsoft Word.
 
Let us know what you think! 

IntelliWord Answer Wizard

 

Q     "We replaced a workstation computer in our office and I cannot find my Amicus Attorney Small Firm software disk to reinstall this workstation. How can I get a replacement?"
A     First, do not use the software disk to reinstall an Amicus Workstation (or install a Timeslips workstation, or install a Practice Master workstation).  If you use the software disk to install a workstation, you will be creating a whole new database THAT WILL NOT CONNECT TO YOUR EXISTING DATABASE.

Always check with your software consultant before installing or reinstalling workstations.  You'll save a lot of time and hassle.  Oh, Gavel & Gown, developers of Amicus Attorney, will send you a replacement disk.
 

Q   "How do I create an "all-day" activity in Practice Master."
    When creating an all-day calendar event, make sure the category is "event."  Then enter the Begin Time as 12 am and the End Time as 11:59 pm.  The event will appear at the top of your calendar for that day.
 
I use Active Words to create a "macro" for this purpose.
 
Q     "I discovered a slip in Timeslips with a timer running and I am unable to turn it off!"
A      Press Control F5 to shut off your own timers. If that does not work, press Alt+F5 to shut off all timers. If that does not work, a Data Verification will need to be run.

Q     "HELP!  Our firm recently upgraded from Microsoft Office 2003 to Office 2007 and we are lost!  Where can we find help?"
A     I am right there with you! 
Microsoft has a couple of WONDERFUL helps:

An Excel spread sheet you can download that lists ALL the features in Word 2003 and where you will find them in Word 2007.  I use this every day!
 
ALSO, IntelliWord teaches a 6-hour, Oregon State Bar-approved Word 2007 (or Word 2003) course, either on line via the internet or on site.  E-mail us for a class outline.
