Honestly, this video is very helpful. As a paralegal, whenever my attorney asks me to create a table of authority, I rewatch this video. Thanks for sharing!!
Even better, try Drafting Assistant in Westlaw. RUclips "Build Your Table of Authorities in Two Minutes" Shawn Westlaw. Drafting Assistant has a lot of features you will find very useful.
I have never created a table of authorities or marked citations before in my life - tried it on a mock document that I'm editing and, thanks to your clear instruction, was able to do it on the first try! Thank you! :)
Thank you SO very much for this video. I watch this about once a year (when I have to do a brief) because I always forget how. It is VERY, very much appreciated!
Seriously the best video, I too go long before having the need to create one. I keep going back to this video over and over! Thank you so much for posting.
This video was most helpful for me to learn how to mark a document for TOA. Thanks so much for explaining this in a clear, concise, understandable manner!
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video :). It is so much easier watching this than trying to decipher the Word Help for this!
Wow that last tip was very helpful. I didnt even know u can do an alt+f9. Also didnt know u can highlight entire table and do a right click and update. Super cool. Thank u so much.
I noticed you went back and marked cases that had already been marked, then highlighted their original citation before you hit "mark citation"; what does that do?
I'm puzzled because you don't discuss use of the Short Form. If cases are referred to repeatedly throughout the brief in the short form -- such as _Richards_ instead of _Richards v. Wisconsin_ -- by renaming them in the short form field of the Citation Dialog box when marking it the first time, the "Next Citation" command will also take you to every short form reference throughout the brief to mark it. It will even do this for all the "Id's". Is there a reason you haven't addressed that? Perhaps it's just because this functionality was not available 10 years ago when this video was done?
Very helpful indeed, it even made find out the difference between a pincite and short cite. I'm not a paralegal or anything but I absolutely love formatting calls at my help desk job. I'm not really sure why but it is what is.
Any suggestions for videos to further help me learn more? For example, I don't really understand the way that the numbering system works in legal documents.
table of contents tip: to remove a heading or "content" from the TOC (for example, if you inadvertently marked it for inclusion in TOC before you knew what you were doing): highlight the text in the document that you want to remove from the TOC; open REFERENCES tab; in the table of contents box, there is an option "add text" with a drop down; click the drop down arrow and select "do not show in table of contents" You're welcome! I hope I saved you the aggravation I experienced tip 2: note that your font selections for each TOC heading style seem to carry over into the page number listed in the TOC-heading and page number styles are not independent of each other
When I click the paragraph symbol to show/hide characters, it does not take off the hidden text from the citation. It does its normal function but has no effect on the hidden text. When I do a print preview, it's gone but I want it to not show up in the normal view. Can you help?
Do you know if there's a way to add an overarching heading in the table of authorities? For example: Adding the word "Cases," followed by the sub headings: Federal Cases, State Cases, etc. Thanks in advance for the already super helpful video!
Thanks so much. The only issue I have is, she keeps referencing :"removing the pin" and I don't know what she is talking about. What number is she removing?
The pincite is a citation to a specific page. However you past the citation is how it will appear in the table of authorities. If you leave the pincite in there, it will show up in the table of authorities, which is not what you want. Maybe you know this already and was just critiquing the video. Either way, there you go.
The pincite refers to page in which you are citing or pointing something out. It is usually followed after the first page the case starts in a particular volume. Reporters compile cases into a volume, which has continuous page numbers and the first page number is used to show where a particular case starts in that volume. So if you want to refer to the 3rd page of a volume that starts at (1102) you would put something like Example v. Doe, 174 P.3d (1102), [1104] (Wash. Ct. App. 2009). For the purposes of a table of authorities, the pincite [1104] would be removed to leave Example v. Doe, 174 P.3d 1102 (Wash. Ct. App. 2009).

Great video. Every six months or so I need to make a table of authorities for a brief, and I rewatch this video every time as a refresher.

Thanks for posting this video - I've been away from working on Briefs for almost 4 years so this is a GREAT tool to refresh myself!
This video was most helpful for me to learn how to mark a document for TOA. Thanks so much for explaining this in a clear, concise, understandable manner!
By far THE BEST tutorial ever! Thank you for making this easy, fun and very easy to understand and remember! Nice job!
This is the BEST video that I have found on this topic!! KUDOS!! Thank you give us more on different topics. Excellent.
Very very informative and appreciate the demonstration as it is explained by this young lady and so easy-to-follow instructions. Grazie!
Thank you for making this easy to understand. I don't do TOA or TOC often. This is very helpful. Great job!
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video :). It is so much easier watching this than trying to decipher the Word Help for this!
Your voice is so soothing, I almost fell asleep trying to hurry this deadline :')
Where did you even learn this last part, the add-on? Great job!!
Excellent video, thank you so much for posting.
Clear, simple and to the point -- I love it!
Wow that last tip was very helpful. I didnt even know u can do an alt+f9. Also didnt know u can highlight entire table and do a right click and update. Super cool. Thank u so much.
Thank you! Very simple steps and appreciate the walk through of the process!
You hoped this helped? This was brilliant! Extremely clear and helpful. Thank you!
This is wonderful. Thank you so much. So clear and concise.
Thank you very much. This video is a great help for me in doing the TOA.
LOVE THIS LOVE THIS LOVE THIS!! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MASTER THIS FEATURE FOR YEARS!
OMG, just what I needed and I'm running against a deadline. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome demonstration, thanks a million
Very clear and helpful!
I noticed you went back and marked cases that had already been marked, then highlighted their original citation before you hit "mark citation"; what does that do?
This is my go-to tutorial on TOA.
Very helpful and saved me a ton of time.
Amazing video! that was super helpful!

By the way, the UPDATE was wonderful, thanks again.

Has videos on that page, as well as a written tutorial with examples.
how to delete if I added the wrong citation
Awesome video - thank you so much!!!
How do you get around the "Start by Appling a heading style from the Styles gallery to the selected text" ?!??!
This was a lifesaver! thank you so much!
This was so so so helpful, thank you very much.
Great video, ma'am!
That was perfect! Thank you so so much
Thank you so much... You helped me alotty

Thank you very much. One question: Wouldn't Update TOA update the entire table rather than just the section you clicked on?
Yes it would update the entire table.
when I click on next citation, it doesn’t look for “v.” symbol, it goes straight to the section symbol
When I click the paragraph symbol to show/hide characters, it does not take off the hidden text from the citation. It does its normal function but has no effect on the hidden text. When I do a print preview, it's gone but I want it to not show up in the normal view. Can you help?
You are a good person!
Thank you very much! Really helpful, indeed.
Woo hoo! Learning is #winning! :-P
Thank you very much.
What if you have a sentence that breaks up the case name and the rest of the citation? Does that have to be done manually?
Do you know if there's a way to add an overarching heading in the table of authorities? For example: Adding the word "Cases," followed by the sub headings: Federal Cases, State Cases, etc. Thanks in advance for the already super helpful video!
Thanks for making this!
Excellent! Thanks you!
Very helpful, thanks!
Thanks so much. The only issue I have is, she keeps referencing :"removing the pin" and I don't know what she is talking about. What number is she removing?
Thank you!!!
Great video! thanks
Awesome!
what if the citation has more then one recorder?
I am unable to click "insert table of authorities." The image is greyed out. How do I fix this?
You need to mark at least one citation before the table will show up.
THANK YOU!
I love it!
Good job, thanks
Will this work with Word 2013?
very helpful indeed
Thank you
How do you mark an Id. ?
2 thumbs up thank you
It would be nice if you would explain what a "pinsite" (sp?) is, what it does, and how it messes up your table of authorities if it is not deleted....
The pincite is a citation to a specific page. However you past the citation is how it will appear in the table of authorities. If you leave the pincite in there, it will show up in the table of authorities, which is not what you want.
Maybe you know this already and was just critiquing the video. Either way, there you go.
qbyrd0015 , thank you!
, and number
what about the Id cites?
Thank you.
How do I know what the "pin" cite is?
The pincite refers to page in which you are citing or pointing something out. It is usually followed after the first page the case starts in a particular volume. Reporters compile cases into a volume, which has continuous page numbers and the first page number is used to show where a particular case starts in that volume. So if you want to refer to the 3rd page of a volume that starts at (1102) you would put something like Example v. Doe, 174 P.3d (1102), [1104] (Wash. Ct. App. 2009).
For the purposes of a table of authorities, the pincite [1104] would be removed to leave Example v. Doe, 174 P.3d 1102 (Wash. Ct. App. 2009).
I think she is calling parallel citations, "pin cites."
