As a result, many users get frustrated feeling like there must be an easier way to accomplish certain tasks but they don’t know where to look for answers.
In an upcoming hands on session offered by the IndyBar Paralegal Committee on August 20, computers loaded with the newest version of Microsoft Office 365 will be available for you to explore capabilities and everyday tips and tricks that will help you overcome everyday frustrations including the ability to:
• access documents outside of the office
securely, and affordably share information with clients, experts, and co-counsel
• conduct meetings online effectively
• organize case notes in a centralized location accessible from any computer or mobile device
This program will take place in two sessions: a hands-on session from 9 a.m. to noon and a CLE program from noon to 1 p.m. You may register for either session or for both sessions. Lunch will be included with the CLE portion. Please note: the hands-on session is limited to 11 participants. Register online at www.indybar.org.
