Most lawyers are intimidated by Microsoft Word’s automatic numbering system, and with good reason: it is fragile, capricious and easily broken. But they still use it. So should you. And once you have ''semantically'' organised your tract into a logical structure, do the world a favour and ''visually'' organise it that way too.

When constructing a legal document, once you have agreed on a multiple-level numbering system — and you should — for God’s sake indent the different numbering levels. This at a moment discloses the structure and logic of your document. The reader can immediately see the relation of each paragraph to the others.

Most lawyers are intimidated by Microsoft Word’s automatic numbering system, and with good reason: it is fragile, capricious and easily broken. But they still use it. So should you. And once you have semantically organised your tract into a logical structure, do the world a favour and visually organise it that way too.
