This feature is used to index citations in legal briefs. We will refer to the Table of Authorities as "ToA" throughout the lesson.   If you have used the Index or "ToA" feature, this lesson will seem like an old friend. The ToA is simply a fancy index. By fancy, we mean that it allows up to 16 individual indexes scattered throughout the document or compiled as a table.   For example, section 1 may contain an index of references made to cases such as Kramer v. Kramer. Section 2 could index citings of statutes such as the Civil Rights Act while section 3 may list all references to amendments and other constitutions.   The idea behind the ToA feature is to automate the process of indexing a table of authorities. This becomes especially helpful in legal documents that are edited numerous times with citations being added, deleted, and moved in the process. The ToA feature lets you generate a new, updated table at the touch of a key, saving hours of work.

ÍÍÿ Create a new page for the table ø  ÿ Good! Notice that the first page of the actual brief is now page 2. We do not want the table or any title pages to be numbered so let's change page 2 to be page 1. ÿÍÿÍÿ Renumber page 2 to be page 1 Î2 2 6 1 1 ´ 10  ÿ Excellent! The new page numbers will be reflected in the table when it is generated. You are now ready to define the table. Allow me to type the title and headings.  ¼Ðtoa_o.tut   Define the Table ÿßÿÛ With the title and headings on a separate page, you are ready ÿÛ to perform the first step: define the ToA. This is the simple ÿÜÿÛÿÜ task of marking the location where you want each section to be generated.   The steps to define a section are: 1 - Move the cursor where you want the section to begin 2 - Select Define Table from the Options menu on the Mark Text key (Alt-F5, 5, 4) ÍÍÿ Define section 1 under "Cases" ÃÃÃà ß5 2 4 5,14,75,20  You can choose any number between 1 and 16. Later, when we mark each citation, you will need to remember which section number you assigned to "Cases." ÍÍÿ Let's assign "cases" to section 1 1   10 9,1  This is the Table of Authorities definition menu. This menu lets you change the format of each index (section). Just press the ÿÿÙ key to continue unless you need to change the format. ÍÍÿ Change option 3 from yes to no 3n ºº»ÃÃÃà  That's all there is to it. Sections for Statutes and Constitutions have been defined for you. In review, to define a section: 1 - Move the cursor where you want the index to be generated, then 2 - Select Define Table from the Options menu on the Mark Text key (Alt-F5, 5, 4)   The ToA is defined. Before continuing to Step 2, let's look at the code that was inserted under "Cases" when you defined section 1. ÍÍÿ Look at Reveal Codes Ý Ów10 16,14,55,16  <- Table of Authorities DefMark code 8  This code says that it is a Table of Authorities definition marker for section 1. ÍÍÿ Exit Reveal Codes Ý  10  Mark each citation Before you can generate a table, you must first "mark" each ÿÛÿßÿßÿÛ authority. Three features are used to mark authorities: ÿÜÿÜÿÜÿÛ ÿÛÿÜÿÜÿÜ ÿù Search (F2) ÿù Block (Alt-F4) ÿù Mark Text (Alt-F5)   Helpful Hint! Pressing the Home key before pressing a Search key extends the search range to include footnotes, endnotes, headers and footers. You should use the Extended Search feature whenever you are marking citations for a ToA. ÍÍÿ Search for Nelson v. Acerson º¯ nelson¯  Full Form Good! There are two parts to marking each authority. The first part is the necessary task of blocking and marking the complete citation (Full Form) as it will appear in the table. Let's try it! ÍÍÿ Block the full form æÞ  A quick way to block is to press the last character in the block. In this case, the right paren is the last character. ÿÍÿÍÿ Press the right paren (Shift-0) )  Mark the full form With the full form blocked, you are ready to mark it using the Full Form feature found on the Mark Text key (Alt-F5). Note! The Full Form feature is only available when Block is on. ÿÍÿÍÿ Mark this citation with the Full Form feature ß 4  Choose a section number Do you remember which section number was defined for "Cases?" ÍÍÿ Put the Nelson case in section 1 1   Editing the Full Form After entering a section number, the block of text is shown and you are free to make changes to the citation. Changes here only affect the citation as it appears in the table. For now, let's continue without making any changes. ÍÍÿ Exit the full form screen ´  Good! The citation, as it will appear in the table is marked and you are now asked to enter a Short Form or "key word" from the Nelson citation. You'll understand what the Short Form is all about in a few more steps. For now, enter "Nelson" as the Short Form. ÍÍÿ Delete everything except Nelson and press ÿÿÄÿÙ to continue ÀÀÀÀÀþþ Àè   Excellent! You have completed the first part of marking an authority. The mark is a code you can see in Reveal Codes. ÍÍÿ Display the text and codes Ý 9,13,40,15  Table of Authorities code ÿ 6  The code shows the section number, Short Form name, and indicates that this is citing was used to define the Full Form. ÍÍÿ Exit Reveal Codes and return to the document Ý   With the full form defined and marked, you are ready for the second part of marking an authority--that is, marking any remaining citings of the same authority.  10  Short Form To mark the remaining citings, you search for the word or phrase that was entered as the "short form" and then select Short Form from the Mark Text key (Alt-F5, 4). Let's try it! ÍÍÿ Find and mark the next citing of the Nelson case ú¯  WordPerfect remembers the last thing you searched for. This time it is the same as the short form so you do not need to enter something else. ÿÍÿÍÿ Search for and mark the next "Nelson" citing ¯ß  ÿ Notice that when block is off, the Short Form feature appears on this menu. ÿÍÿÍÿ Select the Short Form option 4  That's all there is to it! Let's mark one more citing of the Nelson case. ÍÍÿ Mark the next Nelson citing º¯¯ß 4  Very good! A few other cases, statutes and constitutions have already been marked in this document.   Generate the table ÿÛÿßÿßÿÛ ÿÜÿÜÿÛ This is the third and easiest step in creating a ToA. ÿÜ ÿÛ It takes a few moments to generate a table. ÿßÿßÿßÿß ÍÍÿ Generate the Table of Authorities 11,1 ß65 0,1 6 ºº» 9  Editing the table You did it! If you see a problem with one of the citations in the ToA, you should make the correction to the full form. If you make the correction to the ToA directly, the correction will be lost when the ToA is next generated.   Let's edit the Nelson Full Form just for practice. ÍÍÿ Search for the first citing of the Nelson case ĺ¯nelson¯  Good! Before you can edit a Full Form, the cursor must be to the right of or below the Full Form mark in the document. In this case, the search has done this for you. ÿÍÿÍÿ Display the full form screen ß55  Let's move the reference information to the second line, indent, and then return to the document. ÍÍÿ Edit the Nelson Full Form ççç ±´  At this time, you can change the section number if necessary. To change the section number, simply enter a new number. To cancel the message and leave the section number as it is, press Exit (F7), Cancel (F1) or Enter (ÿÿÄÿÙ). ÍÍÿ Cancel the message  Note! Initial Settings on the Setup key (Shift-F1) lets you change the ToA format for every document. Dot leaders, underlining and spacing can be customized.   You are ready to generate the table again. ÍÍÿ Generate the table ß65 6  When the table appears, notice that the format of the Nelson case reflects the changes just made. ¼Ã   Congratulations! You finished!
