yeah, MS Office applications. I'm an Excel moron, though, and as for access--I've tried to teach it to myself, without success, since I'm a verbal person. I use Word the most.

You do not need paralegal classes to work in a law office as a receptionist, clerk, runner, or legal secretary. You need basic office skills to act as a legal secretary; MS Office, organizational skills, filing, and some poise and polish is good too. For a legal secretary position, you need a typing speed of at least 75-80 wpm, though, and excellent verbal and word processing skills.
