Viewing the SoDA Commands

Viewing SoDA commands in a document

You can toggle the display of SoDA commands in a document. It is helpful to display the SoDA commands when you edit in the document so you can be sure the cursor position is correct.

Word 2000 -- Display hidden text by pressing the Show/Hide toolbar button (¶).

Word 2002 -- Show the SoDA command name by clicking SoDA > Show/Hide Commands, and display comment markers by clicking View > Markup.

Note: To read about the annotation differences between the Word versions, see Word 2000 and Word 2002 Comparison.

Viewing SoDA commands in Template View

The Template View is a convenient way to examine all of the SoDA commands in a template. The view is an indented list of the commands and their arguments. When you select a line in the template view, the corresponding SoDA command is selected in your document.

To create a Template View from Microsoft Word, click SoDA > Template View.

Note: The Template View is used only to build or edit a SoDA template. You cannot generate a document or report from the Template View.

Viewing a list of the template commands

The Template View report function creates a Word document that lists all SoDA commands and their arguments in hierarchical order. This report does not include any of the template content – only the SoDA commands in the template.

To create a template command report, do one of the following:

§  Click the Create Tree Report button in the Template View button bar.
