A ‘variable’ is a place holder for personal information. Variables are placed in strategic locations throughout a document to indicate where personal information ultimately will be placed in the final version of the document.
Creating variables with Pathagoras could not be easier. You only need standard keyboard characters to create them. Peruse your source documents or clauses for places where personal information should go. If a personal name exists, change it to a variable sounding name and then put brackets around it. So, change “Lincoln” to "[LastName]" and you have done it. These, too, are variables: [Client Name] [Quantity Ordered] [Date of Contract].
| • | You can manually add variables by hand typing them into your source documents. |
| • | You can 'point and click' or 'drag and drop' variables that are contained in an Instant Database mask into your document. This insures consistent spelling. See "Pathagorizing Text" and the tools listed there for more information. |
| • | If you work with documents that you obtained from a third-party which contain bracketed variables, you are all set! (And you can add even more variables to those documents if you wish.) |
