View and Insert Saved Clauses in Word
Learn how to browse your clause library and insert saved clauses directly into your documents.
Before viewing your clause library, make sure you've:
- Installed the Recital Word add-in
- Saved at least one clause to your library (learn how to save clauses)
How to view your clause library
- Open the Recital add-in in Word.
- On the home screen, you'll see your entire clause library organized by category.
Clauses are automatically categorized (Assignment, Confidentiality, Limitation of Liability, etc.). You cannot currently modify categories, but Recital handles this automatically based on the clause content.
Understanding your library view
Each clause displays the same information you'd see in search results:
- Usage frequency – How many documents contain this clause
- Last used – The date and contract name where the clause most recently appeared
- Parties – The parties involved in the last contract
- Full clause text
- Category – The clause type
How to insert a clause into your document
- Browse your library to find the clause you want to use.
- Hover over the clause.
- Click Copy text.
- Paste the clause into your Word document where needed.
You can also remove clauses from your library by hovering and clicking Remove from library.
