Autotext entries in the default Author-it Word template
February 18, 2008The default AuthorIT.dot Word template comes with the default autotext entries for headers and footers listed in the table below; most of the other Author-it Word templates have similar autotext entries, though their names may be a little different.
I couldn’t find this information anywhere in the Author-it Help or in their Knowledge Center, so I figured that I should share what I documented recently. Hopefully this information will help someone!
| AutoText item | Affects this… |
| EvenFooter | The footer displayed on an even page (pages 2, 4, 6, etc.). By default, it displays copyright information, is left-aligned, and has a top border. |
| FooterFirst | The footer displayed on the title page of the Word document. By default, it contains a field for the date the documented was printed, is left-aligned, and has a top border. |
| HeaderChapterOdd | The header displayed on the first page of a new chapter when it starts on an odd page (pages 1, 3, 5 etc.). By default, it contains the text in SuperHeading and Heading 1 (chapter heading) both of which are left-aligned, a page number on the right, and has a bottom border. |
| HeaderContentsEven | The header displayed on an even page of the table of contents. By default, it contains the word ‘Contents’ and a page number, both of which are left-aligned, and has a bottom border. |

Thanks for putting this together, Rhonda. I have yet to set up my AIT > Word 2007 mapping, although it has been a to-do project for several months now. You see, a new template design came along in the middle of everything that is really quite different, so I want peace and quiet to think things through. The new design does not have all the styles I expect.. This list is really useful to me for that project. I will really try to get back to you with feedback, if I have anything to add. I am debating whether to push myself over the edge by upgrading to v5 at the same time! :-)
Thanks Rhonda – documenting this has been on my list of things to do for ages. I will definitely find it useful. How about posting the file on the Author-it User Group?
Thanks Rhonda – very helpful!
