The eXtyles Post Processing Cleanup feature makes another pass through a document that has already been processed with eXtyles for the next step in your workflow. It is generally used for documents that will be sent to a composition application such as Adobe InDesign.

Certain options in Post Processing Cleanup should not be run on files that will be exported from Word to XML with eXtyles. They should only be run if the eXtyles Word file is to be directly imported into another application or exported as a PDF.

To run Post Processing Cleanup:

Select eXtyles > Post Processing Cleanup
When the Post Processing Cleanup dialog appears, check the boxes of the operations you want included in the process and click OK. Check a box only if you are sure it is necessary, especially if you are exporting to valid XML If you’d like the default settings adjusted, please contact eXtyles-support@inera.com.

All Post-Processing Cleanup options are turned off by default because most will strip from the Word file information necessary for a valid XML export and should thus never be run.

Post Processing Cleanup Settings

Operation	Description
Run Selected Options On	Select whether you want Post-Processing Cleanup to run on the Whole Document or on Selected Text Only. If a block of text is selected before the Post-Processing Cleanup dialog is opened, it will default to running the options you choose only on that selected text (e.g., if you want to remove <unknown> tags from only one reference).
Apply to Reviewers	Allows the editor to select which reviewers’ comments will be processed. Either All Reviewers or just the comments associated with specific functions (e.g., eXtyles Reference Check) can be selected.
Convert Word Comments to Text	Converts Word comments to inline text. The comments can be placed: Before Text: before the highlighted text to which the comment has been applied, After Text: after the highlighted text to which the comment has been applied, or Document End: in a list at the end of the Word document. Converted comments can be prefixed and suffixed with user-definable text strings. The inserted text can optionally be made a colored font and/or boldface. Disabling this option also disables the controls for comment placement, prefix, suffix, color, and boldface. This function should not be used if the file is to be exported to XML.
Prefix/Suffix	A Word comment, when inserted into the body text, may be prefixed and suffixed with user-definable text. In addition, the text can include a unique number for each comment, the comment author’s name, and the comment author’s initials. These insertions are controlled with the following control codes: %N = The comment author name; %I = The comment author initials; %D = The comment number; %Z = The comment number, padded with leading zeros. For example, the default prefix/suffix text shown in the dialog to the right will take the comment “This is a comment” and insert it as “ [[Q1: This is a comment]]”, where 1 is the number of the comment.
Color	When enabled, this option will change the comment font to one of six color options (black, blue, red, green, gray, or violet) so that comments stand out from surrounding text.
Make Comments Bold	When enabled, this option will insert comments as boldface text so that they stand out from surrounding text.
Remove Word Comments	Remove Word comments in the file. The default is to remove all comments. However, you can also remove comments from specific reviewers by selecting the reviewer on the dropdown list (Apply to Reviewers).

Text Color

Operation	Description
Remove Word Text Highlights	eXtyles sometimes makes use of Word’s highlighting to make certain text stand out or easier to proof. This option will remove all highlights that have been applied to the text, whether by eXtyles or by an editor.
Remove Word Text Shading	eXtyles sometimes makes use of Word Background Text Shading to make certain text stand out or easier to proof. This option will remove all text shading that has been applied to the text, whether by eXtyles or by an editor.
Remove Paragraph Shading	eXtyles sometimes makes use of Word’s Paragraph Shading to make certain text stand out or easier to proof. This option will remove all paragraph shading that has been applied to the text, whether by eXtyles or by an editor. Note that this option will remove paragraph shading even if it has been applied to paragraphs inside tables.

Word Styles

Operation	Description
Convert User-Defined Character Styles to Face Markup	Converts application of user-defined character styles to plain face markup. This cleanup is helpful in preparing the document for desktop publishing, where it may not be desirable to keep character styles. This function can also be used in conjunction with “Remove Text Shading” and “Remove eXtyles Tags” to “cleanup” a reference list after eXtyles processing.
Remove Unused Word Styles	Removes any Word paragraph and character styles that are not in use in the document. This feature is mostly an aid to certain tools used with Quark XPress to index content.
