On-Site and Remote Software Training
for Law Firms, Government Agencies, and Individuals
CompuSavvy provides hands-on computer
training throughout California.
We specialize in on-site software training for law firms and government
agencies.
And we offer remote training (webinars), too!
On-Site Training (at Your Office) or Remote Training (Webinars)
for Small Groups and Individuals
We offer expert training for small groups and individuals in:
- MS Word®
- WordPerfect®
- Converting / Moving From WordPerfect to MS Word
- and more!
Let us help you get the most out of your software. We'll teach you the features
you most need to know, such as:
- Aligning text with pleading line numbers
- Changing / "suppressing" the page numbers
- Adding a code for the file name and path
- Using automatic paragraph numbering
- Cross-referencing
- Redlining / comparing documents
- and
- Generating a table of contents / table of authorities
We've been working with law firms both as trainers and as legal word
processors with vast experience formatting a variety of legal documents for nearly three
decades, so we understand
your computing needs. We take the time to answer your questions, and we explain things
in plain English! Plus, we provide lots of
handy
"cheat sheets" you can refer to long after the formal training has ended. And we'll show you lots
of time-saving tips and shortcuts.
Advantages of On-Site Training
Many people find on-site training more convenient than lab classes conducted in
a computer training center. It's more economical, too! Plus, you can focus on the specific topics
and features you most want to learn. Best of all, you get our undivided attention!
Advantages of Remote Training
Remote training costs less than on-site training, and it's a good option for
organizations and individuals located outside California. We can provide remote training for up
to five people.

filename and path code (in both Word and WordPerfect), the role of the non-printing characters
(in Word), creating QuickWords (WordPerfect), customizing the Quick Access Toolbar (Word),
using line breaks (Word and WordPerfect), closing a document without closing Word, centering
a page vertically (Word and WordPerfect), disabling an F-lock keyboard, and much more.
