Want better documents and better use of your time? You only need to master what you already own, that includes your Microsoft tools. The solution you didn’t even know you were searching for is right there in front of you (you just didn’t know it).  Let’s fix that. Guest Barron K. Henley is a self-proclaimed “nerdy lawyer” who helped found the Affinity Consulting Group, a team of “recovering lawyers” dedicated to helping attorneys maximize productivity through technology. Hear how Henley and his team teach lawyers about Microsoft “styles,” voice to text solutions, formatting, and importing and synchronizing Excel data and tables.  Save time, minimize errors, and stop feeling frustrated. You won’t come across these solutions by accident, but you can invest a little time in learning. It’ll pay you back in the long run.  Questions or ideas about solo and small practices?

People can speak at 180 words a minute, converting that into text automatically saves you a block of time that can be better used on real, creative efforts.  Mentioned in This Episode: Previously on Legal Talk Network, The Lawyerist Podcast, “How Lawyers Can Maximize Word, With Barron Henley”  ABA TECHSHOW 2025 Microsoft Voice to Text Microsoft 365 WordPerfect Hotdocs Copilot by Microsoft “Customize or Create New Styles” by Microsoft “How to Merge Word Documents” by Microsoft “Get Started With Voice Access” by Microsoft Netdocuments (Netdocs) Excel Templates by Microsoft Dragon Legal Clio Cloud Conference 2025 Clio Legal Trends Report
