Lookup Tables
Paragraphs with Indents
Lookup table entries are useful to store clauses, including indentations in test. This allows stored
clauses to be formatted in many documents.
Clauses are copied from Word or from PDFs and added to the table. Table entries then have line
feeds applied between paragraphs and tabs inserted to represent level of indentation. That completes
the lookup table entries.
In the document, clauses are defined as ".. from lookup table" and the clause has the required
indention and tab spacing applied.
Generate the Table Entry
Copy the clause text from a WORD or PFD document ...
... and paste in lookup table maintenance.
Edit the clause, inserting additional line feeds between paragraphs and inserting tabs (Ctrl+Tab)
where indents are required.
Formatting Lookup Clauses
Lookup clauses are inserted into varable length text fields, using concatenated text formula as their
data source. This is a typical formula, showing Clause Number, followed by -text as the data source
name Clause Text:

This is the printed result, noting fonts, point size, tabs and dimensions are set by the user.
