Specify Addendum References and Labels for Answer Overflow

In a form document, when an answer overflows its answer field, the entire answer can be sent to an addendum. When this happens, HotDocs inserts text into the answer field, cross referencing you to the addendum for the full answer. You can specify what text is used in creating the cross reference as well as specify the text that identifies the answer once it has been sent to the addendum.

To control what information appears in overflow references and in the addendum

1. At the HotDocs library, click the Options button. The HotDocs Options dialog box appears.
2. Double-click the Form Documents folder. The folder expands to show several subfolders.
3. Open the Properties for New Fields folder, then select the Overflow Properties subfolder. The window changes to show options that control answer overflow.
4. In the Cross-reference text field, enter the cross-reference text you want to merge in the field if the answer overflows. (See Use Answer Overflow and Addendum Text Codes.)
5. In the Addendum label text field, enter the text you want to appear as the label for the entry in the addendum.
6. At the Table answer column indent field, enter a number (or click the up or down arrows to select a number) to control the distance between the label for that specific entry in the list of answers and the actual answer.

The changes you make are not applied to existing fields. The changes won't take effect until you create a new field.

If you leave the Cross-reference text field empty, HotDocs uses a default reference, See # in Addendum.
