ChangeAssistant
Makes it possible to search automatically for words or expressions within Microsoft Word documents, based on complete lists. You can decide whether the alternative term shall overwrite the term searched for, or be placed after it. Colours can be applied to highlight replacements. This approach enables editors to maintain lists of undesired words and search through their documents for them. At the press of a button, all the undesired words are replaced and/or highlighted. This can be applied to standardize Terminology quickly and efficiently.
