Make Perfect Tables With Edge
Editing and formatting tables for patents has never been easier
Welcome to 2024! We hope you have had a wonderful and restful New Year celebration. May this be your best year ever
At Edge, we’re ringing in the new year with a new feature: tables.
Tables are an essential part of certain types of patents, like chemistry patents, that must convey information in a condensed and systematic format. Creating tables can be a pain, as can formatting them for USPTO. With Edge, we are solving that problem.
Here is how you create a table:
Right click and select “Insert table”
Start filling in the table
You can add a row or column by going to the end and clicking “+”
Just like that, easier than any doc editor. Plus, when you edit the table, you can see the table lines for easy editing.
Our tables support all formatting types, including LaTeX and chemical structures. The first row is already set up for the column headers. Your table will also export properly formatted for USPTO.
Edge automatically numbers and labels your table for you. And because a table is a reference, you get all the benefits of references in Edge with tables. That includes appearing in the reference tab, click to preview, and reference tracking.
And the Assistant knows how to read tables too, so it becomes part of the Assistant’s toolkit as well.
One more thing. If you have a table you’ve already created in Excel, you can copy it and paste directly in Edge. We will format it and label it automatically. This includes not only the table formatting but also special characters, like math.
Let us know what you think!
