The eXtyles Auto-Redact function automates common, time-consuming Word edits so that editors and copyeditors don’t have to waste time making repetitive or minor edits. The Auto-Redact function automatically performs a complex set of text substitutions in a document to bring it into compliance with your organization’s predefined publication styles and standards. Further, eXtyles Auto-Redact can identify specific patterns of text and apply Word character styles, which can then be used to produce specific tagging in the XML.

How to Use Auto-Redact

To apply the Auto-Redact rules to a document:

1. Select Auto-Redact from the eXtyles menu/ribbon

2. The following dialog box will appear:

3. Click OK to process the document.

eXtyles will automatically make a backup copy of your manuscript. Having a backup copy allows you to use Compare to Baseline immediately after Auto-Redact to review the changes that are made by eXtyles.
