About TOA Builder

You can use TOA Builder in Microsoft Word to insert a formatted Table of Authorities with Cite Formatting to ensure valid, correctly formatted citations.
Use the TOA Builder tool to build a properly formatted list of references (known as a Table of Authorities or TOA) in your legal document. The TOA is inserted where your cursor is positioned in the document at the time you run the tool and includes section headings for all content categories that are enabled when the profile settings are configured. It is considered best practice to use the TOA Builder tool in tandem with the Cite Formatting tool. Using both of these tools ensures that only valid citations are included in the table of authorities, and that those included are formatted correctly.
TOA Builder is integrated into Microsoft Word.
The following TOA Builder capabilities vary between Drafting Assistant platforms:
  • Retention of edits on subsequent TOA Builder runs is available only in the Drafting Assistant desktop add-in and not on other platforms.
  • Edit citation range is available only in the Drafting Assistant desktop add-in and Drafting Assistant Essential (Web Platform) and is not available in Drafting Assistant for Word Online
  • Tab leaders don’t appear after inserting a Table of Authorities in Drafting Assistant for Word Online, however, they’ll appear once the document is downloaded, printed, or saved as a PDF.
