Deleting SoDA Commands

There are two ways to delete commands in a SoDA document: through the Template View or in the document itself. Both methods give the same results. Deleting commands in the SoDA document varies slightly based on the type of command. If you work in the document, show the existing SoDA commands so you can be sure the cursor position is correct.

Note: For Word 2000, the position in these examples refers to the actual annotation, such as [OPEN1]. For Word 2002, the position in these examples refers to the comment marker. The SoDA command display has no programmatic function in Word 2002.

§  To delete an OPEN Command, locate the [OPEN] annotation, select it, and delete it.

§  To delete a DISPLAY Command , place the insertion point somewhere between the [DISPLAY] annotation to the corresponding [ENDDISP] annotation, and choose SoDA > Delete Command.

§  To delete a REPEAT Command or a LIMIT Command, you must decide whether you want to delete the entire section including the command, or just the command. Place the insertion point to the right of the starting annotation but before any other annotations in the section. Then choose SoDA > Delete Command. In the dialog box that appears, choose one of the following:
Delete Command – Removes the annotations for the specific command only, leaving all other internal commands and text in tact.
Delete Command and Text – Removes all annotations and all other commands and text within the deleted command.

You can also delete commands from the Template View, by selecting the command you want to delete, and choosing the Delete button.

Warning: Always use the Delete Command menu option to ensure that you delete all annotations corresponding to the command you are deleting. Failure to do so will result in the template being in an inconsistent state.
