Pathagoras
Tip of the Week
Document Assembly Tips:
The 'Create Variables' Assistant: Pathagoras has
automated much of the work otherwise necessary to prepare documents
for automation purposes. The tool you might want to use early in the
process of document prep is the 'Create Variables' Assistant.
Use the 'Create Variables' Assistant to help you to:
- quickly place brackets around words you want to become
variables. All you have to do is highlight the text, press a
button and it is done. (In this situation, Pathagoras
presumes that the text you highlighted is already written as
a variable. E.g., "Customer Name", "Date of Order", etc.)
- quickly convert a currently 'personal' word, date,
phrase or name (e.g., "John Q. Doe" or "January 28,
1953") into bracketed variables. It is also just highlight
and click. (Pathagoras will not only convert the specific
highlighted text, but will offer to convert other instances
of the same item throughout the entire document. This is a
tremendous timesaver.)
- Add Optional and Options text blocks
