2 62 Grammarly Grammarly is a heartier editing tool that looks at multiple categories of writing issues. Of course, that might not be a concern for an experienced attorney/writer just looking to tighten their language. One downside: unlike other pro-grams, WordRake doesn’t explain its corrections it simply shows them. And just like with Track Changes, you can accept or decline the edits one at a time.
The suggested edits show up right in the document, like Word’s Track Changes feature-with proposed cuts in red strikethroughs and suggested replacements in blue. With one click, WordRake combs through your docu-ment, pointing out places to cut or replace bloated phrasing. 1 WordRake WordRake works like Microsoft Word’s grammar-check-one that’s laser-fo-cused on simplifying and tightening your language. There are many editing programs out there, but here are three that are worth checking out. But these tools do speed the editing process, and they’ll point out things that you might have missed or might not have considered at all. And, yes, you’ll still have to review the suggested edits and make judgment calls. No, they can’t do the writing for you- that’s still up to you. Indeed, to the extent that these programs can help us produce better writing in less time-which, of course, benefits clients-I’d suggest that lawyers might have an obligation to use them. These tools automate much of the writing advice that I try to share in this column, so I’ll just come out and say it: you should download and use one or more of these programs. But many other editing programs integrate with Word-and offer much greater functionality.
The Last Word Leveraging Tech Tools to Improve Your Writing, Part 2 by Joe Fore In my last column, we looked at editing tools built into a piece of software you’re probably already using: Microsoft Word.
