MultiChoice *Lists*

    Pathagoras lets you assign a list of multiple choice terms to a simple variable. We call the simple variable an 'alias.' We call the long list of terms a "MultiChoice *List*".

    The alias can be placed into your source documents just any other variable. The exception is that the alias is surrounded by "*" (asterisks). It is the asterisks that signal Pathagoras that the proper MultiChoice *List* needs to be consulted to get the actual multiple choice values for the variable.

    When it is time to personalize the document, you would call up the InstantDatabase screen in the normal fashion (Alt-D). When the page is scanned, the entire list optional terms will be displayed in a dropdown list for your selection, alongside the other variables within the document.

     The Help System fully describes the setup and use of MultiChoice *Lists* at this link: MultiChoice *Lists*.

     Below are MultiChoice *Lists* that we offer for your use. You can copy and paste any or all of them into your *list* collection. Just highlight the text and copy it to your clipboard. (Don't worry about the 'broken' words you may see in the list. That is a function of how html displays.) Then, following the instructions found when you have the MultiChoice editing screen displayed in Word, create an alias name (your choice) in the left column of the MultiChoice *Lists* table, and paste what you have copied from below into the table in the right column.

   TIP: The 50 United States and their respective capitals are already part of your demo data put in place when you installed Pathagoras. You can see them with no further steps on your part by typing onto your editing screen [*States*] and [*Capitals*]. Press Alt-G and then scan. (If you want the States and Capitals lists to change in tandem with one another as you make selection, preface each with a groupname. E.g., [!S!*States*] and [!S!*Capitals*]

     We solicit any list that you may create for inclusion in the below table. Simply copy and paste the list into an email addressed to lists@pathagoras.com and we will add it to this page so that others may benefit..

"Cascading" {*Options*} Lists

    You can effectively nest one *List* within another, and obtain a cascading effect as you move from selection to selection. I.e., you can get Pathagoras to display a series of 'first' choices. Make a selection and a series of secondary choices (as opposed to an ultimate answer) will appear. Depending upon the number of dependencies, will can eventually cascade your way down to a final choice.
 
The following table of items will demonstrate this 'cascading' principle. They can be quickly added to your MultiChoice *Lists* so you can try it 'live'.
 
1. Highlight the text in the table below. To do so, simply place your cursor just before the number "2" in "20 Questions". Hold the left mouse button down and drag your cursor to BENEATH the last entry (just below the end of the table). 

2. 'Copy' the highlighted text (using Ctrl-C, or right-click and copy.

3. Return to Word and paste the clipboard contents onto a blank editing screen.

4. {Place your cursor anywhere inside the table.

5. Display your MultiChoice *List* editing screen. (Pathagoras Features | MultiChoice *Lists*.

6. Click 'Add Prepared List' (just like you did for the lists in the top part of this webpage). Press 'Next'.

7. That's it. The table contents will be quickly added to your existing MultiChoice *List* collection. You will get a confirmation as to how many items were added and changed.

   To try it out, type {*20Questions*} (use the curley braces to signal "Simple Options" into a document and don't forget the "*" at each end. Press Alt-G against the closing curley bracket to process the document. Answer the 'questions'.

    The nature of the action should be obvious. Note: Not every selection has a cascading value. When a cascading option is not provided, the last selection becomes the answer.)

    To learn more about Cascading Options, and what makes them work, see this page in the Manual.
