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.

Auto-Redact and Case and Law Citations

eXtyles Auto-Redact will automatically identify and style, using Word character styles, case and law citations. These character styles are then used by eXtyles to produce granular tagging in the XML for the case and law citations. This eliminates much of the hand work required to tag these citations in the XML. 

Law Reference and Law Cite

In the following example, eXtyles has automatically character styled the law reference and citation.

The color coding of the character styles facilitates quick proofreading of the styling, so the editor can determine whether eXtyles has correctly identified the law text: light mauve (e.g., "Pub. L. No.") represents the Law Reference, and dark mauve (e.g., "105-197, 112 Stat. 638") represents the Law Citation.

Because Word character styles are not displayed in the style area pane in Draft view, you can proof them by clicking into the styled content and noticing the name of the style in the style drop-down on the Common Word Commands section of the eXtyles ribbon; for example,

Case Reference and Case Cite

In the following example, eXtyles has automatically character styled the case reference and citation.

As with law citations, the color coding of the character styles facilitates quick proofreading of the styling, so the editor can determine whether eXtyles has correctly identified the case text: light green (e.g., "Burkhart Randall Div. of Textron, Inc. v. Marshall") represents the Case Reference, and dark green (e.g., "625 F.2d 1313, 1324 (7th Cir. 1980)") represents the Case Citation.
