Subject: RE: (SoDA) Report vs
Document
Actually, both methods keep the "SoDA commands" or
annotations in the generated doc/report. These
annotations contain the information needed to use Visit Source
in either type of document.
As
one of the previous Forum answers mentioned, if you have a template and you
do SoDA->Generate Report and then on the same template, you do
SoDA->Generate Document, you will get two documents that *look*
alike.
If
you don't NEED to use Generate Document, the best way to do generation is
with SoDA->Generate Report. It's faster (especially in large
documents) and produces a smaller document. It has less chance of
problems, since manual changes are not made to the generated
report.
However, if you need to report changes, show change bars, or add
boilerplate text to your document, then Generate Document provides these
functions. After the first generation, the template is not used in the
production of the document. Each iteration is recreated from the
previous generation. The generated document can be manually
manipulated and future generations record and retain the changes.
Manual intervention, of course, leaves room for mistakes, so without close
scrutiny, problems can happen.
Determine the method of document publication that will work best for
your project and use that. You might want to use one or the
other for different kinds of documents.

Document contain all tags use by SoDa and
the report is only a text ouput without any soda
information.
