Modifying Existing Commands

In most cases one of the standard templates can act as a reasonable starting point for template customization. There are two ways to modify commands: through the Template View or directly in the SoDA document.

§  In the Template View:

-     double-click the command you want to modify

-     highlight the command, right-click and select the Modify command

-     highlight the command and select Edit > Modify

§  In the SoDA document, show the existing SoDA commands and place the cursor (insertion point) inside the command you want to modify, but outside any child commands:

Note: For Word 2000, the position in these examples refers to the actual annotation, such as [OPEN1]. For Word 2002, the position in these examples refers to the comment marker.
The SoDA command display has no programmatic function in Word 2002.

For
OPEN Commands, place the cursor to the right of the [OPEN] annotation, but before any other annotations.

-     For REPEAT Commands, place the cursor to the right of the [REPEAT] annotation, but before any other annotations in the section

-     For DISPLAY Commands, place the cursor between the [DISPLAY] and [ENDDISP] annotations. (DISPLAY commands have no child commands.

-     For LIMIT Commands, place the cursor to the right of the [LIMIT] annotation, but before any other annotations in the section.

When the cursor is in the proper location, choose the SoDA > Modify Command command. The corresponding dialog box appears:

OPEN Command Dialog Box

REPEAT Command Dialog Box

DISPLAY Command Dialog Box

LIMIT Command Dialog Box

Make the changes and click OK.
