Creating and formatting section definitions for a table of authorities

Tables of authorities can be divided into sections, such as cases, statutes, and regulations, and you can apply a different format to each section. Each section has an accompanying section definition, which defines the sections you want to include in a table of authorities. You can create and edit a section definition. As well, if you want to reuse a section definition, you can retrieve it to use in another document. If you no longer require a section definition, you can delete it.
