Editor has the ability to edit at the word, phrase and sentence level and replies with relevant feedback. It can catch misspelled words and mark possible misused words like 「were」 and 「where」 and confusing phrases. Editor does not automatically change your text, instead it offers two views. One view displays your text with numbered errors and the second view displays the checks ran with a sample of the text in question and the rule. For example, when it scanned our word 「disc」 it responds with 「NONSTANDARD SPELLING」; 「disk」 except after 「compact」 [n].

$ m6 M: l1 G( JWhen we tested this program with one of our samples, written by one of our writers, it did not find any Fix, Spell 1/Spell 2 or Polish errors, but quickly found a wordy phrase, a few pretentious words and jargon. At the end of the report it displayed the number of words and sentences and 「counted items,」 which included 「to be」 verbs, logic markers, 「this」 and 「it,」 and second person uses. The word and sentence count can be used to estimate sentence complexity and the 「counted items」 can be used to measure the level of formality. When we ran a more complex piece that contained proprietary terms and computer language it marked jargon and questioned the use of hyphens and so on. With this sample we could have turned off the typing error flag in Editor』s Preferences list and Editor would have ignored words like 「FireWire」 and 「WinDVD」 and our report would have only included applicable feedback.0 W) S0 W8 Y5 {" C) I. \

A useful feature in Editor is the Word List feature, which actually counts the number of times a particular word or phrase is used. It can look for word repetition and frequency as well as repeated phrases and passages. The word frequency count will display how many times you use every word in your text. With this check you can easily see which words you overuse or under use (which is useful when writing for SEO purposes).6 i+ N0 V. Q% t

But does include tools that can help you enrich your text by eliminating unnecessary words, pretentious language, illogical expressions or vague statements. It can also help you focus your writing by checking for redundancy and repetition. We found that after using editor our writing became tighter and more focused since we were able to catch wordiness such as 「all of」 and 「in order to.」1 A R5 K1 s W) V/ p7 l
