Folder of Terms

A folder of terms is a standard Windows folder of documents. Each document in such a folder is a plain Word document, nothing more.

We cannot overemphasize the point that the kind of documents used by Pathagoras for document assembly purposes are plain, ordinary Word files, the kind you already use, so we repeat it.

Any existing folder now existing on your computer or somewhere on your network qualifies as a book. The folder need not be one created for, or in contemplation of Pathagoras.

The folder of terms can contain whole documents or the various clauses needed to create (assemble) a whole document. A clause can be anything – words, sentences, paragraphs, pages, pictures, charts, etc. A clause can even be a complete document (avoiding the ‘assembly’ part of document assembly). Clauses can represent sequential sections of a document. Clauses can also be alternative versions of the same topic, allowing the user to create practically infinite variety in document creation.

To use this kind of book for document assembly purposes, you must accomplish one or both of these simple tasks:

•	map it to an empty 'bookshelf.' See Adding a New Book

•	assign it to a Pathagoras DropDown List. See DropDown Lists
