Ornithopters, Orgasmatrons and the paperless office

Article Abstract:

Predictions of computer innovations leading to complete office automation and paperless offices are false. In fact, legal office paperwork his risen considerably. Attorneys that save correspondence and legal documents on disks are frustrated by mounting hard copy files. One solution to this growing trend is to use desktop scanners, such as Visioneer's Paperport, to scan important documents that can be efficiently saved and easily sent as e-mail attachments. Attorneys can also use portable desktops with scanners to scan deposition documents. While scanners can reduce paper, the paperless office is an unrealistic goal. Lawyers are advised to accept that paper is an inherent part of their practice and are encouraged to invest in inexpensive, off-the-shelf applications that can help them reduce the time it takes to maintain paper documents.

Mission impossible: switching word processors

Article Abstract:

Tips for converting law firm's current word processing applications to more advanced products are presented. Once lawyers have selected a new program, they are encouraged to convince their respective staff members to also switch over to comparable state-of-the-art applications. They are also instructed to thoroughly train their staff in the new system since successful conversions are dependant on comprehensive instruction. Next, attorneys are urged to provide ample technical support to allow users to become comfortable with their new word processing suites. Finally, once a firm's members have migrated to the new program, and once they have been trained and have gained appropriate knowledge, they must translate their older documents to the newer system.
