Before you can draft a bill, you will need to create your own training project containing a half finished bill to continue drafting. If you haven’t got one already, create a project containing a half finished bill: The following steps will allow you to create the data required for this exercise.
Download the XML document for the exercise by clicking on the link you’ve been provided with. By default, the downloaded file is usually placed in the “downloads” folder on your computer.
Log in to Lawmaker.
From the Dashboard, create a new project of the type you need for the exercise. Give it a title such as [Your Initials] Drafting a bill. (See Creating a new project.)
From the Project tab for that project, select DocumentActions > Upload document, and select the XML file for the exercise which you have downloaded. It can be uploaded into the default folder that has been created in the project. (See Create a new document by uploading an XML file.)
On the newly uploaded document version, select Actions > Update Document Information and update the Title to match the title you originally gave the project.
Duplicate this document version using Actions > Duplicate version and call the new version the name of this module. We will create a new document version per module.
Open the duplicated version in the Editor
Exercise 1: Insert a table of contents
This simple exercise will show you how to insert a table of contents.
If you haven’t already done so, duplicate the imported bill version and name it the description of this module so you can easily track work related to these exercises. Open this document in the Editor. When the Editor has finished loading, insert a table of contents by selecting Insert > Table of Contents (scroll down to the bottom of the insert menu)
Exercise 2: Insert a revised table of contents
The table of contents does not auto-update when provision are added, removed or moved. You will need to reinsert the table of contents to see the changes.
Remove both Parts from your document by placing your cursor into the part heading and using right-click Unwrap Element
Remove both cross headings from your document by placing your cursor in the cross heading and using right-click Unwrap Element
Insert the table of contents by selecting Insert > Insert Table of Contents
