A clause can be assigned any name you wish, subject to just a few naming rules and conventions:
'Name' rules:
| • | Document Naming Rules: A document can contain any combination of letters, numbers and keyboard characters, except that the following characters cannot be used as part of a document name: *, &, ?, /, \, :, ; You cannot use slashes or colons in your term names. If you are going to be adding terms to a glossary (as opposed to a folder of clauses), 'bookmark’ naming rules will apply. This merely means that the name must begin with a letter, and contain only letters and numbers (and no spaces). The name may contain an underline (‘_’) character. |
| • | Glossary Term Naming Rules: Glossary names have a few more restrictions. Word's bookmark naming rules apply. A bookmark name can contain only standard keyboard letters and numbers and the underscore character, and the first character must be a letter. |
'Subject' rules: A 'Subject' should be provided for every clause and document so that a future operator will be able to understand the purpose and use of the term. There are no character limitations to a Subject. But you should keep the 'size' of the subject to no more than 60 characters. This is a display issue, not a rules issue.
| • | The 'Subject' of a document can be found under the Document Properties element. To display Document Properties, the document must be open. Click File|Document Properties. Edit freely if you wish. |
 But see Worldox exception.
| • | In a glossary, the Subject is simply the blue text which appears below the red clause name and the actual clause text. |
You can also add a subject to an existing document using the SaveSmart module:
| • | Display the document. Click SaveSmart. |
| • | Click the Show Subject checkbox. |
| • | Type or edit the subject in the text box provided. |
Editing Subjects: Because of the simple, Word based locations in which subjects are saved, it is quite easy to change them. We encourage you to do so freely. When you modify a subject, the new subject will display the very next time you display the Clause Selection Screen or print out a new terms list.
__________________________
Editing names and subjects en masse:
| • | To change the names or subjects of an existing folder of terms or a glossary, use the "Names and Subjects Editor" found under Editing Tools. See Editing Names & Subjects (en masse) |
| • | If you convert a folder into a glossary, the rename occurs en masse as well. You can instruct Pathagoras to assign each term a new name following the prefix/suffix naming style as they are being moved into the glossary. The 'old' name becomes the 'new' subject. It is a 'best of all worlds' situation. See Folder to Glossary |
