Changing Construction Clause Extras

NOTE-- We retired the MacNail construction software back in 2000, and replaced it with Goldenseal, a complete software package for Macintosh and Windows. Goldenseal is an integrated construction business program that includes construction spec writing, plus accounting, construction estimating, and project management, Contract setup is much simpler in Goldenseal, with no use of separate fragments of contract specifications text.

Changing Clause Extras

The MacNail construction management software lets you modify the list of Clause Extras that can be included in a contract.

To change the text of a Clause Extra, follow these steps:

1. Choose Clause Extras from the Options menu.
2. Click on the item you'd like to change, then click Edit.
3. Type in the short code name you'd like to use, plus the actual text that will appear in the contract. Start the text with a lower case letter if it's a sentence fragment, or an upper case letter if it will be a complete sentence.
NOTE: Spec Writer provides punctuation between clause components, so you don't need to add commas or periods at the beginning or end of the phrase. Do include any punctuation within the text.
4. Turn on Write as a complete sentence if you'd like the text to be added as a separate sentence after the rest of the clause. Turn that option off if you'd like the text to be included in the same sentence as the rest of the clause.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for any other items you want to change.
6. Click Done when you are finished with the list.
