Auto-Application of Amendments

Introduction

In the short term, agreed to amendments will need to pasted in manually from amendments.  There are some tweaks we have made to the system to make this process as simple as possible.

How to copy and paste the content of quoted structures

  1. Place your cursor in the quoted structure

  2. Right click (in the Structure view or Editor) and select “Copy Content of Quoted Structure”

  3. Place your cursor in the correct location in the bill where the inserted text should appear and paste (ctrl + v)

  4. The system will paste the content of the quoted structure after your cursor location at the valid insert point.

Hints and tips

  • If the copied content contained a cross reference to another (agreed to) amendment's quoted structure; or to a provision in the bill being amended, then the system should be able to resolve this cross reference upon paste.

  • If a cross reference didn't update as expected, check that the target provision exists in the document where the context was pasted and you may need to run 'update x-refs' again

Scottish Amendments

  • Provisions with empty numbers will be assigned the appropriate number (e.g. 2A) as part of the paste operation as long as your bill is in numbering mode: "Auto-Renumbering: OFF" (to adjust, go to the 'Tools' menu in the upper tool bar)

  • No labels
