Information Input Tools

 The aids necessary to input information into the computer and on to the Internet are identified as Information Input Tools.

 While lawyers who do not have computer input skills are distinct obstacles to accomplishing the goal of working outside the computer, realistically, they can’t work inside the box. The obstacle of not being able to effectively input information into the computer is only a beginning obstacle to working outside the box.

 The parameters of this second box that will receive the most attention here exist for persons who have the skill to input canned, form book information into the computer box, but maybe do not use the full information-gathering resources of the computer world, and after creating a document by inputting it into the computer, freeze from that point forward and do not collaborate and disseminate the pleading.   

       The Office 2007 suite by Microsoft is really the only package which should be considered by lawyers as their primary program for inputting information. As much as some law shops like and continue to use WordPerfect, once the work-horse of the legal profession, only WordPerfect X4 is up to the tasks of the law shops today.

       Without regurgitating the Microsoft spiel, Office 2007 is the only product that is equipped to deal with the complexities of today’s document production for an effective advocate. Microsoft Word, which is one of the main components of Office 2007 easily allows the transformation of a document to a Web page. WordPerfect X4 is a reasonable substitute for the diehard WordPerfect users.

       Cost-conscious advocates need to apply their skills in understanding how to purchase Office 2007 without losing the company store.
