Who Should Attend

About the Program

If you have any version of Microsoft Office, then you already have Microsoft Excel. But most lawyers either underutilize or don’t use Excel. Stop wasting this powerful tool! Excel is a versatile, convenient software program that can make you more efficient and organized in your daily law practice. It can help you log billable hours, track expenses, calculate interest on judgments, manage client information, keep an eye on cases, and create template forms. This introductory course with Master Microsoft Office Instructor Frank Byl will acquaint you with all the fundamentals you need to boost your confidence using Microsoft Excel in your practice. Using legal-related spreadsheet examples, Frank will teach you how to:

  • Create, edit, and save workbooks and worksheets
  • Insert and delete rows, columns and cells
  • Move, copy, and format data
  • Use autofill
  • Insert and copy formulas to track costs and case details
  • Sort and filter long lists, including client information
  • Create template forms
  • Use page layout commands to set up for printing
  • Use shortcuts to save time

You’ll learn how having Excel skills can be an important advantage for today’s legal professional. No previous Excel knowledge is required. Registrants will receive practice exercises as part of the course materials.
