Quote For The Month
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." John Muir

Increase Productivity with an Investment in a Learning Management System (LMS)
In this era of increased client knowledge, audits from financial institutions, and a growing need for lawyers, law firms, paralegals and other professional staff to become more technologically competent, it is not enough for a firm to offer just the best legal minds and legal teams. Law firms today must possess both legal and technical expertise. Simply put, the firms that will succeed must effectively leverage technology to efficiently help clients achieve their goals.
If you are seeking to create an infrastructure that will support firm and client goals, consider the Savvy LMS, Savvy Academy. We will brand your private portal for you, and will create customized settings and content that fit your needs and goals, and we will help you with every step along the way - ALL SUPPORT INCLUDED. The Savvy Training branded (or non-branded) LMS offers:
- Both a state-of-the-art, intuitive delivery system as well as rich, continuously updated content - at an affordable price. Prior to now, clients had to purchase an LMS and the content separately and usually they paid a very high cost for both.
- Content may include the SavvySMART Content Library, Security Awareness Training and Management Skills Training.
- Cloud hosted and 24/7/365 support provided by Savvy Training & Consulting.
- Trackable, reportable data down to each individual user, with a plethora of reports available.
- Access to a social network of subscribers who continuously discuss challenges, ideas and successes that they are facing in their firms.
- Complete control and customization opportunities for trainers and administrators who need to tailor their continuing education to individual attorneys, from new hires to seasoned legal eagles.
SavvyAcademy is a glimpse into the future of what training will and should look like in the legal industry. Contact Savvy Training if you'd like more information about this innovative system.

Quickly Filling a Column
Excel (2007-2013)
When creating a many-row worksheet, it is often necessary to type a formula in one of the top rows and fill the column with that same formula. A convenient way to find the bottom of the column is to go there once (when you are first working with the worksheet) and place a character in each cell of the last row. Now, when you place your formula at the top of the column, you can simply do this:
- Select the cell that has your formula in it (The one you just entered)
- Press Ctrl+Shift+Down Arrow. This selects all the cells from the formula through the "bottom marker" in the column
- Press Ctrl+D. The selected cells are filled with the formula
