In addition to the functions used during the eXtyles process, the eXtyles menu also includes a variety of “eXtyles Tools” that can be used at any time during the eXtyles process. These tools are designed to give you more flexibility when reviewing and editing your document.

This section of the user guide describes these additional tools and how to use them.

Baseline Files and Their Use

eXtyles creates a single baseline backup copy of your original document on activation. Sometimes it may be useful to have more than one baseline version of a document. For example, if a significant number of Cleanup changes are made prior to Auto-Redact, it may be useful to make a second baseline just prior to Auto-Redact. This second baseline will make it easier to view only those changes made by the Auto-Redact function without having to review those changes that resulted from the document Cleanup. By saving multiple baselines in this fashion, you can compare to either the original document or the document as it existed immediately prior to Auto- Redact.

Create New Baseline acts as follows:

1. It checks for the existence of documents called Document$base.doc and Document$original.doc.

2. If neither document exists, it will save the new baseline as Document$base.doc If only Document$base.doc exists, it renames this document to be Document$original. doc and saves the new baseline as Document$base.doc.

3. If both Document$base.doc and Document$original.doc exist, it renames Document$base.doc to Document$base1.doc and then saves as new baseline as Document$base.doc. Subsequent saves will rename Document$base.doc as Document$base2.doc, etc.

If you have two or more baseline versions saved, a dialog will open when you select the Compare to Baseline menu item. This dialog will list all baseline versions that you have saved with the most recent one highlighted at the top of the list. You can select the most recent baseline or any other one to perform a comparison between your document in its current state and the selected baseline.

Compare to Baseline

To compare the current version of the document being processed by eXtyles with one of the baseline copies:

1. Select eXtyles > Compare to Baseline.

A dialog appears and lists all the baseline versions that have been saved. The date and time appears in parentheses next to each document, for example, Document$base.doc (2/15/12 1:43 PM). The most recent version is highlighted at the top of the list. You can select any of the baseline versions to perform the comparison with your current document.

2. Select the desired document and click Compare.
