Guidelines for Creating Defined Terms in Turner

It’s a good idea (but not essential) to observe the following guidelines when you create defined terms in Turner:

• Avoid creating defined terms using only uppercase letters unless you want to use only uppercase letters when you use these defined terms throughout your document. For example, avoid creating the defined term BUYER if you want to use Buyer throughout your document. If you create the defined term BUYER and then use Buyer instead, the Proofreader will flag each use of Buyer as a drafting error.

• Avoid creating defined terms that include punctuation unless you want to include punctuation in these defined terms when you use them throughout your document. For example, avoid creating the defined term Buyer. (including the period) or Buyer, (including the comma) if you want to use Buyer throughout your document. If you create the defined term Buyer. or Buyer, and then use Buyer instead, the Proofreader will flag each use of Buyer as a drafting error.

• Avoid creating defined terms that contain more than one word that you would have to make singular or plural if you want to use these defined terms in both singular and plural forms. For example, avoid creating the defined term Acquired Entity or Business if you want to use Acquired Entities or Businesses throughout your document. If you create the defined term Acquired Entity or Business and then use Acquired Entities or Businesses instead, the Proofreader will flag each use of Acquired Entities or Businesses as a drafting error.

If these guidelines do not suit your drafting style, you can easily ignore any drafting error; see Managing Drafting Errors to learn how. To learn more about the Proofreader, see Checking for Drafting Errors.
