FUTURE MEETINGS

Welcome!  Our group is comprised of computer application trainers and user support specialists who primarily work in the law firm environment in the greater Washington DC metro area. Our membership is free. Our goal is to share our training techniques and experiences with each other as well as brainstorm solutions to training or computer problems.

We meet every other month.  Location varies depending on which member is hosting the meeting.  Generally, the location is in the "Golden Triangle" area of downtown Washington, D.C.

The Word 2007/2010 Mashup for Legal Users

Kay Scholer LLP
901 Fifteenth Street NW, Suite 700
Washington, DC 20005

Presenter:

Jeffrey Roach and Stacy Gittleman
EncoreTech

Description: Join us for a lively look at the differences and similarities between Word 2007 and Word 2010. Stacy and Jeffrey will talk about how to build a training strategy that doesn't center around which version of Word you firm will ultimately choose, but instead allows you to effortless train through the versions.

Specific topics include:
•   Overlays of the two products which reveal specific differences
•   Advice on building a sound strategy for various upgrade paths
•   Benchmarks to estimate how much training to plan for your various audiences
•   A quick summary of the truly "new" features of Word 2010

Best of all, Stacy and Jeffrey will share a "hype-free" review of the handful of features that matter most to legal users, and how they have been impacted by the changes introduced in Word 2007 and carried through to Word 2010.

Please RSVP to Rochelle, Jennifer or Tee.
