Configuring auto-complete text settings 

ClaimMaster also allows you to store  auto-complete entries as part of the boilerplate paragraphs.  When using auto-complete, ClaimMaster will use Word to provide you with  "as-you-type" suggestions for the commonly used terms in your documents. Suggestions will appear after four characters are typed into the document.  You can then press "Enter" to bring up a menu that lets you select from a list of suggestions for auto-completing your term name when you type.  In addition, ClaimMaster can complete acronym definitions using the same approach.


You can import terms and acronym definitions into your auto-complete text list from claims and specification, or specify it manually, either in the tool or directly in the ClaimMaster Boilerplate.dotx file (under "Auto-complete") section.


Getting Started

  • From the ClaimMaster Ribbon, click on the Boilerplate Tools menu, then select Auto-Complete Settings:


Feature Options

You will be presented with the following window to quickly configure auto-complete entries.



    1. Press this button to enable/disable auto-completion of defined acronyms and terms in your documents
    2. Press this button to import terms from the current document.  
    3. As part of the import, you can specify whether to import terms from specification (i.e., part names with or without numbers), claims, or acronym definitions.  When importing/adding acronyms,  they are defined in the following format:  [ACRONYM]::[ACRONYM DEFINITION] syntax.  For example, FED::Field Emission Display (FED).  When you want to auto-complete acronyms when you type, preface them with $ symbol, such as $FED or $TCP and ClaimMaster will show auto-completion suggestions for you.
    4. Check this box to specify whether to import only multi-word terms to cut down on the overall number of suggestions.
    5. The list of defined auto-complete terms appears here.  You can edit//add/remove terms from this list directly in this text window.
    6. Click this button to save your auto-complete terms/settings.  If "enable auto-complete" checkbox is selected, the terms will be loaded.
