Navigation

Answering almost any question about a contract involves navigation, and Contract Tools makes this as simple as browsing the web. Double-click a use of a defined term to go to its definition, or double-click a cross-reference to go to what it references. When you’re finished, use the Back and Forward buttons to get back to what you were doing.

Double-click a use of a defined term…

…to go to where it’s defined.

Do the same thing with cross-references.

* Testing conducted by Paper Software in November 2020 using a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 computer with an Intel Core i7-10510U processor, 16GB of RAM, Windows 10 Pro (64‑bit, version 20H2, build 19042.630), and Word for Microsoft 365 (64-bit, version 2010, build 13328.20356). Testing consisted of using Contract Tools v1.35.6.0, customized to include a timer, to calculate the average duration of 20 analyses of a contract of approximately the specified page length. All settings were default. Performance tests are conducted using a specific computer system and reflect the approximate performance of Contract Tools.
