Templates
If you want to apply the MSCD enumeration scheme to your contracts, Ken Adams recommends that you check out the Numbering Assistant.
But the Numbering Assistant won’t help you format the unnumbered paragraphs at the front and the back of the contract. That’s why you might find useful the Word templates accessible through the links on the right side of this page—opening a template, copying the relevant text, and then pasting it in a contract would provide a simple way of ensuring that your layout for that part of the contract is an efficient one.
The templates include one for the front of the contract and two for the back of the contract (one with a concluding clause that refers to a date in the introductory clause, the other with a concluding clause that refers to dated signatures). These templates are equivalent to samples 1, 9, and 10 of MSCD.
Also included are templates of the MSCD two-column format and the recommended format for a written board consent. These templates are equivalent to samples 8 and 19.
If you have any questions regarding features contained in these templates, please consult MSCD.
And note that the templates have been purged of metadata—they should be safe to copy.
