When we are putting together a Table of Authorities, we usually underscore the cases or we italicize the cases within the document, It is up to the attorney of course as to what he/she might prefer.
A Table of Authorities is an extraction (listing) of Cases, Statutes (laws), Rules (Rules and Procedures of a particular court) - and other items that are used when putting together a litigation document that serve to support the facts and legal issues of the current case.
So after we go through a Table of Authorities and mark all of the Cases, Statutes and Rules etc. within the document, we then turn our attention to running the Table of Authorities.
1. Go to your References Tab. Click on the little Icon next to the Mark Citation Button (Right Side of Screen)
2. When your Table of Authorities Dialog box opens, you will see a selection called “Keep Original Formatting”.
3. Note: If you used “Direct Formatting” when either Underscoring or Italicizing the cases of your TOA and you want your finished TOA to also have that Underscoring or Italicized look then you check the “Keep Original Formatting” box.
4. Your completed TOA will have the Underscore or Italic look as well. If you don’t check “Keep Original Formatting” then you will just see the text of the TOA without the attributes after you run the TOA.
5. If you use s Character Style to Underscore or Italicize the Cases within the document, then selecting the “Keep Original Formatting” selection will not work. You will just get the text in the TOA without the underscore or italic attributes.
