Modifying Clause Language

You can modify the clause language by specifying the clause text, inserting header and footer, embedding terms, inserting tables, images, objects, and applying character and paragraph styles.

Procedure

To modify the clause language, complete the following steps:

  1. Open a clause template in the Contract Editor or Word Editor.
  2. Specify the clause text by entering it manually, or by copying it from a file and pasting it in the clause.
  3. Use Word to insert tables, images, or objects.
  4. Use Word to apply character formatting such as bold, italics, underlines, and paragraph formatting.

    The paragraph styles, which include font settings, are applied to the text when the clause template is used to create a clause within a contract.

    Multi-column formatting is supported only in the Word Editor and not in the Contract Editor.

  5. Use Word to insert the header and footer.
  6. Embed terms in the clause.
  7. Click Save.
