As a paralegal I frequently have to summarize depositions for attorneys and I work from the actual copy of the transcript that has been transcribed. This should be readily available to you either from the attorney or the court reporter that transcribed the deposition. These transcripts are prepared usually as a Word document and are done with the lines numbered so they are easy to follow. As most law firms receive transcripts electronically it is surprising that you weren't furnished with the actual transcript.
