------- Additional comments from bigjimsl...@openoffice.org Mon Nov 30 17:35:01 +0000 2009 ------- Let me add to this a number of things: 1. There are many legal citation formats. 2. Citation formats require italics/underling and sometimes smallcaps. 3. The appearance of the TOA entry, is often not the same as the citation in the text. For example, the text may include a page number in the cite: Felder v. Casey, 487 U.S. 131, 151 (1988) (With the case name in italics) that should appear as Felder v. Casey, 487 U.S. 131 (1988) (With the case name still in italics). After a case has been referenced, there are several short forms that can be used in the text, including: Id. Felder, 487 U.S. at 152 4. This is a feature that Word does VERY poorly. In fact, most attorneys do it by manually. -=-=-=-= A. There needs to be an ability for the user to create TOA groups (e.g "Statutory Materials", "Regulations", "Cases") and an ordering for those grous. A. There needs to be an ability to specify a citation that will appear in the TOA, a group assignment, and how it will appear (an index entry). B. There needs to be a mechanism mark points in the text where the TOA entry appears. B. There needs to be an ability to generate a TOA in various forms. This should include sorting the entries in alphabetical or numeric order. -=-=-=-=-= Useful features would be to allow editing and correcting from within the TOA itself. For example, if a case appears under the statute section, it would be desirable to be able to select the entry in the TOA and change it to a case. If an entry appears multiple times (ie variations in spelling), it would be desirable to be able to select the spelling variation and reassign it to the desired spelling. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
