### **Creating summaries**

You can ask the LLM to create a summary of some selected text. You can do so going to the *Summarise* module, selecting text within your MS Word document (or pasting text when you are using ClauseBuddy outside of Word), and then clicking on the blue *Summarise* button.

By default a summary is 'Simple' — i.e. a short, single paragraph. But it is also possible to produce more structured summaries like so:

Selecting Configure *> Create new summary type* opens a summary format editor. Here, you can create your own summary type. For instance, a summary rendered as a table with columns for the *Date*, *Party*, and *Content* of the clauses in the selected text (or uploaded document).
