Occasionally USGS may publish PDFs from Word – or use a workflow for a particular document that requires the removal of all eXtyles character styles and colors. In this case, you will find the following Post-Processing Cleanup settings helpful in cleaning up your document after eXtyles processing.

  • Remove Word Text Highlights: This removes all colored highlighting, such as that applied during Auto-Redact
  • Remove Word Text Shading: This removes all text shading, such as the colored shading applied to references, citations, and authors
  • Convert User-Defined Character Styles to Face Markup: This removes the character styles, such as those applied references, citations, and authors, while preserving face markup such as italics and bold
  • Remove eXtyles Tags: This removes fielded tags, such as <jrn> in a reference list
