Macro Help: Listing and Choosing Text Options In Legal Document
This is going to be my 1st macro, so I need KISS (keep it simple stupid) guidelines. A simple sample might work best for me since I am unfamiliar with the macro language.
I want to create a template for a legal document called an answer, which is a respond to another document called a complaint. In a complaint, allegations are set forth in numbered paragraphs. In the answer, you respond to each allegation, referencing the paragraph number. In another word processor, I created a template with 50 numbered paragraphs and respond to each paragraph appropriately and then would delete any overage. In my previous word processor, I created a template with 50 numbered paragraphs and responded to each paragraph appropriately and then would delete any overage. The way I created the template was to include numbered paragraphs with each one beginning: 1. Responding to Paragraph 1, Defendant I need to complete the statement with one of the following options: - denies the allegations therein. - admits the allegations therein. - need not respond to this paragraph since it not a proper allegation. - denies the allegations but admits that The last option requires me to manually complete the sentence. I set this option using red text which reminds me to go back and add the particulars. I'd like a macro that stops at each paragraph, appends the option chosen, and continues to the next paragraph unless I halt the macro. I have no idea what any of this would look like but, like everything else, it is just a matter of jumping in and learning how to do it. The hard part with macros is that the reference material always assumes you know a great deal more than you do so it is easy to get lost. If I had a sample like this I might be able to figure it out on my own. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this or sample macros would be greatly appreciated. |

I doubt you want macros for this.
Explore two Word features:
You can use a SEQuence Field in such an entry to control your numbering. You may want to look at Word for Wordperfect Users. P.S. I am an attorney. |
