3. To include one or more header files in the subcontract, turn on the Include Headers option, and click on each header file to be included.
HINT: Hold down the Command ( ) key to select multiple files.
4. To include one or more footer files, turn on the Include Footers option, and click on each footer file to be included.
5. Select the type of output file you'd like to receive-- either a word processor (text) document or a spreadsheet document.
6. To include stock clauses, turn on the Include Stock Clauses option.
NOTE: To control which stock clauses are included in the list, choose Stock Clauses from the Options menu (see page 105).
