Creating long doc using different boilerplate
I'm trying to create a long document and need to be able
to choose different parenthetical boilerplate based on the terms of the deal. I tried using Master/Subdocs to do this but when I print, all the links to the unused documents print as well. Any ideas? Or is there a more efficient way to do this? |

Richard,
Create a template for the document and store it in one of your template locations (ToolsOptionsFile LocationsWorkgroup Templates or User Templates). Set up the elements of structure and layout that will be common to all documents. Then define autotext entries, saved in the template, for each block of boilerplate text. Each time you start a new document of this type, create a document from the template using FileNew. Insert the various boilerplate with InsertAutotext. Regards, Chad "Richard" wrote in message ...

I use MailMerge alot for this sort of thing. I set up the document as
a mail merge main document, and create a merge field named, say, DealType. I put the different "boilerplate" chunks into separate files with short, unique names, say DealA, DealB, DealC. Where I want to include a different chunk, I enter {IncludeText "C:\\My Documents\\Folder\\{MergeField DealType}.doc"}. Then I edit my mail merge data source, and specify the actual file name, e.g. DealA or DealB, for DealType. When I do the merge, voila, the right text for that deal type appears. -JB "Richard" wrote: I'm trying to create a long document and need to be able to choose different parenthetical boilerplate based on the terms of the deal.
