Changing Contract Headers

NOTE-- We retired MacNail in 2000. and replaced it with Goldenseal-- a complete software package that handles construction spec writing, plus accounting, construction estimating, and project management, This manual is still online as a courtesy to die-hard MacNail users! Goldenseal has contract-writing features that are very similar to MacNail's, but contract headers are stored in each Contract record, rather than a separate file.

Changing a Header or Footer

To ch ange the language in an existing header or footer file in the MacNail construction management software , follow these steps:

1. Open your favorite word processing program.
HINT: If you don't own a word processor, use TeachText, which is provided with your Macintosh, or NotePad which is included with Windows.
2. Choose Open from the File menu.
3. If necessary, move to the Headers & Footers folder, located inside Spec Writer folder (see page 57).
4. Click on the text file you'd like to change, then click Open.
5. Edit the text.
6. Save the file in text format (see page 101).
