  • Body (Replace Template): Deletes all content in Order Editor (Exceptions: Auto-generated Case Style, Title, and Judge’s signature), then Inserts content from uploaded document into body of Order in Order Editor.  

Note:  Body (Replace Template) replaces templates, text, and imported content.

  • Prior to correction, the “Body (Replace Template)” feature triggered an Error message.
