Hi,
Where I work people need to create agreements and contracts. These don't tend to change a great deal, so invariably they will go back to old agreements and contracts and copy and paste clauses into new agreements and contracts.
We can create a slightly more elegant solution by using quick parts and autotext, but that's not much good when dealing with a large library of pre-determined text, many of which may only consist of a few lines. They can also only insert autotext or quick parts one at a time.
People can also use the Insert - Object - Text From File option, which also means they can search for clauses (great!). It also means they can select multiple files by pressing Ctrl or Shift to block select text, but I can't seem to choose which order the text gets inserted. If we can choose the order it would be a big help.
Of course there may be other funky ways of achieving the same thing. In essence the requirement is:
- Select multiple Word or text files
- Insert them in the order the user wants
Maybe there's a Word add-in or third party product that enables this?
