Section Insertion

Z-Write also supports the abilty to insert one Section inside another via a special Insert Tag. It looks and works similar to the Link Tag, except that when you print or export, the full text of the Section you name replaces the tag. For instance, you could have a Section with the following inside it:

<insert chapter 1>
<insert chapter 2>
<insert chapter 3>
<insert chapter 4>

When you printed this Section, it would contain the first four chapters of your book. Then you could have another Section with the following:


<insert chapter 1>
<insert chapter 2b>
<insert chapter 3b>
<insert chapter 4>

This would also print your book, except that since it inserts chapters "2b" and "3b," the book would be a little different.

You could even use this to include alternate text within the middle of a Section. For instance, let's say you use Z-Write to write a sales letter. The bulk of the letter would be the same, but the middle paragraph would be customized, depending on if it's going to a national contact or a state contact. Instead of writing the letter twice, create one letter and insert in the appropriate Section. That inserted Section would only have the one paragraph that's different.

This is an extremely powerful feature. Experiment with it to see what it can do.

To insert an Insert Tag into your document, hold down the Option key as you drag a Section Name into the current Section. Instead of inserting a Link Tag, Z-Write will put in an Insert Tag. You can also add an Insert Tag via the "Insert Tag" menu command.

Command-clicking at the start of an Insert Tag will jump you to that Section, just like a hyperlink.
