Comment on How to Format a Word Document, Part 2: Creating a Style by Testking 70-642

Full justification makes for slower reading because spaces between letters are different and interupt the flow.Also it can lead to spaces that can have other things added in later not usefull in legal docs!

Comment on Vonage v. Comcast Voice: There is No Contest by geminiman7

Thanks for the reviews & comments everyone. I’ve been with Vonage for over 4 years and was contemplating moving to Xfinity Voice due to sporadic call quality issues that Vonage customer service could not resolve (using Comcast 20MB service).

I am currently testing Xfinity Voice and they do NOW offer voicemail audio attachments, BUT the other features/options are still lackluster compared to Vonage.

I think I may stay with Vonage and figure out another solution. One of the other features I like about Vonage is the multiple voice-mail greetings. On the weekends I have an “off-hours” business greeting, and during the day a regular greeting. Comcast does not offer this.

Good point Tim. Although, I have hit the fax machine pretty hard this year in recent posts. http://www.theconnectedlawyer.com/archives/910 and http://www.theconnectedlawyer.com/archives/892.

Bryan:

I am shocked that your post does not include your favorite phrase related to going paperless: “Fax machines are evil.”

Comment on Time to Kill the Fax Machine by Malcolm Pearson

Malcolm Pearson — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 13:27:18 +0000

What I have found is that local lawyers like the fact that the fax machine gives them a confirmation of the receipt at the other end. Not saying that email does not, but this is the reason a lot of the fax to email did not get a very good uptake here in South Africa.

If the message got lost from the faxtomail server to the email address, there was no way for the sender to get confirmation that the fax failed, and it cost almost 3 times as much to send through these faxtoemail services.

So people preferred to go from fax machine to fax machine – one must assume that with just about everyone on the planet having an email address, that faxes will just continue to die.

Comment on Bates Stamping Your Documents by Bates Stamping

I find that law firms typically use a system I like to call franken-capture. Usually one application to scan and capture, another to bates stamp, another to redact, and yet another to file into a case management system like Summation or WorldDox. There is a single application for all processing: PSIGEN PSI:Capture. Legal Document Processing
