The options for character sizes are: - Paragraph text - default size: 11 - other available sizes: 9, 7, 5 - Heading 1 - Heading 2 - Heading 3 - Quotation You can also format text. The available text formatting options are: - **Bold** - *Italic* - Underlined ### ![Screenshot 2022-07-26 at 14.11.53](https://help.precisely.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-07-26%20at%2014.11.53.png?width=688&name=Screenshot%202022-07-26%20at%2014.11.53.png) ### **Text alignment** Precisely’s editor also has options for text alignment. The available options are: - Left aligned - Right aligned - Center aligned - Justify ### **Lists** ![Screenshot 2022-07-26 at 14.13.19](https://help.precisely.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-07-26%20at%2014.13.19.png?width=688&name=Screenshot%202022-07-26%20at%2014.13.19.png) To create a list in a template, just follow these simple steps: 1. Click *Templates* in the main navigation and click the name of the template that you wish to add a list to, 2. Enter the editor by clicking *Edit* in the template's overview, 3. Click the list button to add a clause list, or click the arrow next to it to choose from the different list types available. There are a few types of lists to choose from: - Clause list — a numbered list, with nested lists, that numbers clauses in the document. - Simple bulleted list - Simple list with lowercase letters - Simple list with roman numerals - Simple list with green check marks - Simple list with orange exclamation marks - Simple list with red cross marks ![Bullet lists](https://help.precisely.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Bullet%20lists.png?width=688&name=Bullet%20lists.png) When using any sort of numbered list, the **numbering is automatically updated** as you add or remove numbered clauses. E.g. if you have created clauses #1 and #2, indenting a section in between (creating a new #2) will automatically update the numbering of your previous clause #2 to #3. ![](https://help.precisely.se/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/precisely-55290ab8719a.intercom-attachments-7.comio30107322356cb005f37a7107acac8f7eb3-a1kVrqlgCqVEjke6urT46DOQ-f55QCZZC3vpY_ducPq0zt_J1Sd6zyEBIL-Feb-09-2022-07-01-57-07-AM.png) *This is what a clause list looks like in a .pdf generated from a template.*   If you'd like to use more parts of documents in the same document (e.g. the main documents + appendix that requires logic), you can easily **restart automatic numbering**.  To easily manage automatic numbering, **click on the number** to either - **restart** numbering (change 17 to 1), or - **continue** the previous numbering (change 1 back to 17) ![Screenshot 2022-06-20 at 09.10.33](https://help.precisely.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-06-20%20at%2009.10.33.png?width=406&height=145&name=Screenshot%202022-06-20%20at%2009.10.33.png)   **Pro tip:** To quickly create and edit your lists, you can use the *Decrease/Increase indent* buttons. You can also use *Tab* or *Shift* + *Tab* to increase/decrease the indentation. ![](https://help.precisely.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/precisely-55290ab8719a.intercom-attachments-7.comio3010732302712ed31735340877efd99f4pGcSHmJGTgWyZsuDNUSQCZQDUrsVn4n_KrMw-d8a8kYI7R5EqTxZySQv8W5C-Feb-09-2022-07-01-57-49-AM.png?width=221&height=127&name=precisely-55290ab8719a.intercom-attachments-7.comio3010732302712ed31735340877efd99f4pGcSHmJGTgWyZsuDNUSQCZQDUrsVn4n_KrMw-d8a8kYI7R5EqTxZySQv8W5C-Feb-09-2022-07-01-57-49-AM.png) ### **Tables** #### Inserting a table To add a table to a draft or template document, simply 1.

Click the correct position in your table, 2. Click the *Table* button, 3. The **Insert** option lets you insert a row, a column, or another table within the selected cell 4. The **Remove** option lets you remove a row, a column, or the entire table ![Screenshot 2025-01-02 at 14.09.27](https://help.precisely.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-01-02%20at%2014.09.27.png?width=688&height=326&name=Screenshot%202025-01-02%20at%2014.09.27.png) You can also edit a table by selecting a cell in it. When you have selected a cell, more options for removing and adding rows and columns, removing table borders, and resizing columns become available. **![](https://help.precisely.se/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/precisely-55290ab8719a.intercom-attachments-7.comio30106369265e1c8d748121e2c170711d0gavTSvCdxLLaIywkWrUtqvuEJ-OpqnvIm3j4_zezzwqGktpHKbEiWwpC7TNQ-Feb-09-2022-07-01-40-17-AM.png)** **Pro tip:** Tables can also be used in [conditional blocks in templates](https://help.precisely.se/en/articles/386056-creating-automated-templates?hsLang=en), meaning that they can be included or excluded depending on the user’s answers while drafting a contract from a template. ![](https://help.precisely.se/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/precisely-55290ab8719a.intercom-attachments-7.comio3010636966c65e6c124ed9c377c6edd7fDz4yA22oxMa5Le3lBUZYPwZSPfMdpH8tsyU-Pd8cPQza-5__7bzwJ7gYLBiW-Feb-09-2022-07-01-40-60-AM.png) **Pro tip 2:** You can also make table rows conditional. [Learn more](https://help.precisely.se/en/how-do-i-create-a-conditional-table-row?hsLang=en) **Copy and paste tables**: When copying and pasting tables in the editor, all logic is copied including references, formulas, and table row conditions.    ### **Page breaks** Another styling and formatting feature available in Precisely's editor is page breaks.

You just created a page break. Page breaks are visualized by thin, dashed lines in the editor.

To bold format a reference, simply: 1. Click *Templates* in the main navigation and click the name of the template that you wish to add a bold formatted reference to, 2.

Any contract generated from this template will now have this user input/answer bold formatted.   ![](https://help.precisely.se/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/precisely-55290ab8719a.intercom-attachments-7.comio3010732460e80caf448a9685049b5d859RSWrpWh1HBFh2Zm6RI9vN0mvqYJSm7MR3-mN0lCFjNpo2dJhRer29bHr-LOC-Feb-09-2022-07-01-59-44-AM.png) *Screenshot of a contract generated from the template used to visualize bold formatting of references.*   ### **Images** Finally, you are able to upload images to your documents. ![Screenshot 2022-07-26 at 11.55.29](https://help.precisely.se/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-07-26%20at%2011.55.29.png?width=688&name=Screenshot%202022-07-26%20at%2011.55.29.png) **Note:** Images are uploaded in their original size. To change the size of an image, simply resize it before uploading it. **💡Pro tip**: If you want to change the size of images, use different alignments, or use multiple images in the same row, you can **create a table, add image(s), adjust size of table cells, and finally - make table invisible**.
