And when youve written 31,250 letters, as my earlier calculations indicate I may have written in my practice so far, a fo
2、urth of them before I started writing letters on computer in 1980, you really begin to appreciate the ability to cut and paste text from prior letters. So here are my tips for anyone still around willing to listen. 我还是认为那些喜欢玩弄文字游戏的人应该在电脑上来摆弄它们。电脑才是他们真正的用舞之地。如果您也已经撰写了31250封信函，我在我的律师执业生涯中撰写的信函也达到了这个数字
3、（这个数字已经在上文中统计过），从1980年起我就开始使用电脑，其中近四份之一的信函是在电脑上完成的，所以我也和你一样，非常感谢电脑这种在原有信函基础上剪贴的能力。如果您还愿意继续听，我将把在运用电脑撰写信函中积累的一些小技巧奉献给您。 Write your own letters on a computer. If you have not yet joined the computer revolution, do it now. Get a computer for no other reason than writing letters. You will never again fi
4、nd yourself explaining to your client why the letter you dictated three days ago has not been mailed yet. 直接在电脑上撰写信函。如果您还没有加入到信息化革命中来，那赶快行动吧。不需要其他理由，只为撰写信函就值得买一台电脑。一旦拥有了电脑，您就会发现您再也不用向客户解释为什么三天前口述的信函还没有发出。 Get Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect. You will need good word processing software. The lates
5、t versions are Microsoft Word 2000 and Corel WordPerfect 2000. I have both, but I still use Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS for 99% of my work. My fingers know the special codes so well that its faster for me to write in this older program. I can still convert the file format to any other one using one of t
6、he new 2000 programs which can read the old 5.1 files. 利用微软的word软件和Corel公司的WordPerfect软件。是的，您需要好的文字处理软件。他们最新的版本分别是word 2000和Corel WordPerfect 2000.虽然我有这两个新版本，但我还是用Dos版的Wordperfect 5.1来完成我近99%的工作。我的手指已经熟悉了那些特殊的编码，用起这些老版本软件就会得心应手。另外，这还因为我能将这个老版本软件的文件格式转化成其他2000新版软件所认可的文件格式。 Get voice recognition softw
7、are if you cannot type. If you never learned to touch type, there is finally reliable software to do it for you. Voice recognition software allows you to dictate directly to your computer. The software is so good that WordPerfect 2000 is sold in a bundle with one brand. You can also purchase this so
8、ftware with an optional hand-held recorder so that you can dictate the old-fashioned way and then transfer it to your computer to transcribe. The two most-advertised brands of software are Dragon Naturally Speaking and L&H VoiceXpress. 如果不能打字，那就利用语音识别软件。如果您从未接触过打字，那也有适合您的软件为您服务。语音识别软件可以让您直接口述给电脑。这类软
9、件是如此地好以致于WordPerfect 2000都和其中的一个名牌捆绑起来进行销售。你可以买一个语音识别软件外加一个手提式录音机，这样你可以按传统的方式录音，然后转录到电脑上。比较知名的两款语音识别软件是：Dragon Naturally Speaking 和 L&H VoiceXpress. Set up a separate directory for each client. If you create a directory （folder） on your computer for every client, you can keep all letters, documents
10、and work for that client in one easy-to-find place, just like your paper file folder. The clients last name can be used as the directory name. Thus, all letters, wills, contracts, spreadsheets, etc., for John Doe can be kept on your computers directory named DOE. 为每个客户建立一个单独的文件夹。您可以在电脑上为每个客户建立一个单独的文
11、件夹，这样就可以将该客户的信函、文档、工作记录全都放在该文件夹下，就像放在一个纸文件夹中一样，查找起来方便多了。另外，客户的名字可以命名为文件夹的名字，比如，将与某甲有关的信函、遗嘱、合同、电子表格等文档放入电脑中一个名为“甲”的文件夹中。 Keep all letters in one computer file. Just as you keep copies of all letters in a paper file folder, you should keep copies of all letters on your computer in the directory for t
12、hat client. The easiest way to do this is not to start a separate computer file for each letter sent to someone. Instead you just add the new letter to the existing computer file containing other letters to that person. I find that it works best to add new letters at the top of old letters, rather t
13、han at the bottom. Then your computer file is like a paper folder since new letters are added at the top where you see them first. This is easy to do on your computer: you just start a new page at the top of the existing letter and write the new letter there. 将所有信函保存在电脑中的一个文件夹内。就像把信函的副本保存在一个纸文件夹中一样，
14、您可以将信函的电子副本保存在电脑中专门为该客户建立的文件夹中。当然，这也不能简单地认为是为每个客户的每一封信建立一个单独的文件夹。如果电脑中已经存在为该客户保存信函的文件夹，将新撰写的信函放入该文件夹中即可。我发现最好是将新信函放在老信函的上面，而不是放在它们的下面。在纸文件夹中，为了让人一眼看到，新信函总是放在纸夹的最前面，所以在电脑中放置信函时，也要采用这个规则。其实，这在电脑中很容易做到：即在老信函的顶部新开一页开始撰写新信函。 Name letters to clients LETTERCL and name letters to non-clients with the recipi
15、ents last name. If you name the file with the recipients last name, you can easily find the letter later when you want to read it on your computer without having to pull the file. For example, a letter to non-client Mary Smith would be given the computer file name SMITH. The only exception is that I
16、 name all letters to my clients LETTERCL rather than the clients last name because their computer directory is already named their last name. I also do this because it saves me time finding the file if the client is a corporation or there are multiple clients. 给客户的信函以LETTERCL命名，给非客户的信函以收信人的名字命名。如果信函的文件名是以收信人的名字来命名的，当您事后想看这封信时，不需要到处乱点，就能很快查找到它。举例来说，将电脑中一封给非客户玛丽.史密斯的信命名为史密斯文件。有一个例外，我给客户的信函不是客户的名字而是以LETTERCL来命名的，因为这些信函在电脑中存放的文件夹是以客户的
