Generate a document in Word

In Word, using the Amicus Cloud Office Add-in, generate documents from Amicus Word or Amicus Editor templates. You can edit the output before printing or uploading to Amicus and saving as a document on a file.

This feature is available once you've installed the Office Add-in. For details, see Use the Microsoft Office Add-in for documents and document templates.

Alternatively, generate documents from Amicus. See How to generate a document in Amicus.

From the Amicus Cloud ribbon in Word, click Generate Document

Select a template.

Identify the file and/or contact to base the output on. If the template includes file variables, you should identify a file. And if the template includes contact variables, you should identify a contact.

Review the document and proceed

The document is generated, downloaded, and opened in Word.

Values have been substituted for the variables  For example, "First Edition Publishing" appears in place of "[[File.Full_Matter_Name]]".

Where a value is unavailable, "(No data found)" or a blank is shown.

And where a variable bracket is missing, or the syntax of a command is incorrect, it is printed as is, making it easy to spot. (This kind of problem should be fixed while the template is being designed.)

Edit content and formatting  Edit the text and change the formatting before printing or saving, if you like.

Save to Amicus  Optionally upload the current document to Amicus, in the selected file's folder. It's added as a new document, or as a replacement or new version to an existing document.
