What To Do After the First Draft Is Written
第六部分：完成初稿后做什么
38. Check spelling， paragraph numbering， and cross references both manually and with your word processor‘s spelling and grammar checker. This almost goes without saying today， especially since Microsoft Word now checks your spelling and grammar as you type. （Unfortunately it also changes "per stirpes" to "per stupid" if you fail to watch it closely.） And now there are even computer programs that check contract documents for undefined terms. DealProof is packaged with Corel WordPerfect for law offices， and DocProofReader is available for download for MS Word 97 and 2000.
核實(shí)合同的拼寫情況、段落序號以及上下文的注解，你可以自己手動來做，也可以用文字編輯軟件中的拼寫和語法檢查功能來完成，特別是自從有了微軟的word軟件后，做這樣的工作你似乎不要費(fèi)多少精力（但機(jī)器有時(shí)也不可靠，如果你不看仔細(xì)，它就會把"per stirpes"改變?yōu)?"per stupid"）。現(xiàn)在，這類專業(yè)的軟件甚至可以幫你檢測到合同中沒有釋義的術(shù)語，如：Corel公司專門為法律辦公開發(fā)的文字處理軟件包中的DealProof軟件，還有可供word97和word2000下載安裝的DocProofReader軟件。
39. Let your secretary or paralegal read it. Not only will your staff frequently find spelling and grammar errors missed by your word processor‘s spell checker， but they will find inconsistencies and confusing areas that you missed when drafting.
讓你的秘書或者助手閱讀你草擬的合同。你的同事不僅能通過文字處理軟件來幫你檢查到你沒有查到的拼寫和語法錯(cuò)誤，而且他們還能發(fā)現(xiàn)你起草時(shí)沒有察覺到的矛盾和混淆之處。
40. Stamp "Draft #1 6/22/2000" on it. This may be the first of many drafts， so avoid confusion early by numbering and dating all drafts at the top of the first page. It is also a good idea to write "DRAFT" across the face of each page to preclude the possibility of an impatient client signing a draft rather than waiting for the final version.
在合同上注明“第一稿于200年6月22日”，第一稿完成后，可能還要草擬幾個(gè)版本，為了避免他們之間相互混淆，最好在每份草稿首頁的頂部注上序號和起草時(shí)間。另外，在每一個(gè)版本的封面上注明“草稿”字樣，也能夠避免你那急躁的客戶不等到最后的定稿文本就急于簽字。
41. Let your client read it. Letting the client in on reading the first draft assures that your drafting will stay in tune with the client‘s wishes.
讓你的客戶讀你草擬的合同。你的客戶讀第一稿，可以確保你的起草的東西和客戶的愿望相符。
42. Save the drafts as multiple files on your computer. If you save the first draft on your computer as two files， you will have one file identified as the first draft and the other identified as the current version. This can be done by naming the current version "contract" and the first draft as "contract.d1." Then， subsequent versions can be named "contract.d2"， "contract.d3，" etc.， where the "d" in the extension indicates draft. （Of course， if you‘re not using WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS， as I do， you can use long file names to show the contract name， draft number and draft date， such as "Contract Smith Jones draft 2 datd 6 22 2000."）
在電腦中將草擬的合同多保存幾個(gè)復(fù)件。如果你將第一稿合同存了兩份在電腦中，那么其中的一份可以用來存檔，另一份則可以用來繼續(xù)修改。用來存檔的文件可以命名為"合同。草1".用來修改的文件可以命名為"合同".以此類推，以后修改的版本就命名為"合同。草2"，"合同。草3"，等等。帶"草"字的擴(kuò)展名表示此合同是草擬版本。（當(dāng)然，你可能不經(jīng)常用DOS下的WordPerfect 5.1軟件，我是經(jīng)常用的，你也可以用一個(gè)較長的文件名來清楚地表達(dá)出草擬合同的名稱、編號及起草時(shí)間，范例如："史密斯。瓊斯于2000年6月22日草擬的第二版合同".）
43. Compare the current version to prior versions. If you save draft versions， it is very easy to compare one version to another using the word processor‘s compare feature or using the CompareRite computer program. When you compare "contract.d1" to "contract.d2"， save the comparison as "contract.c21" and print it to show the client what changes were made.
將當(dāng)前的草擬版本和以前的版本進(jìn)行比較。如果你存了很多合同的草擬版本，那么你就可以很容易地用文字處理軟件或者是CompareRite軟件來比較分析兩個(gè)合同版本。當(dāng)你用軟件比較"合同。草1"和"合同。草2"兩個(gè)版本時(shí)，最好將軟件的分析結(jié)果打印出來送給客戶看，讓他知道變化在哪里。
