     Editor 3.8 for Windows®  (2011)

        Before buying a copy of Editor, please review our home page for an overview, and our FAQ page
        for details, to make sure you understand what Editor does and does not do.  If you are unsure
        whether Editor will help improve your writing, you should download a free, 10-day trial copy of
        Editor from the Internet.   Important: Writers whose first language is not English should read
        our note on ESL.   Everyone should read our FAQ, "Does Editor check 'grammar?'"

        Two versions of Editor 3.8 are available:

        The Standard Version analyzes all Word documents, many WordPerfect, Works, HTML, and RTF
        documents, and any document saved in plain-text (*.txt) format.  The Standard Version does
        not integrate with any word processor; its analytical output is plain text files of detailed notes
        for use in editing.  The price is US$55.00.

        Editor for Word, with the Word Add-In option, performs the same analyses as the Standard
        Edition but comes with an optional add-in that allows editing within Word 2003/2007/2010
        documents with Editor's analytical output displayed on screen.  The price is US$75.00.

If you are using a 64-bit version of Word, click here for important information.


Both the Standard and the Word Add-In versions of Editor install in Windows on 32-bit and 64-bit machines.  However, the Word Add-In does not install in the 64-bit version of Word.  Microsoft advises customers that 64-bit Office 2010 programs do not support most add-ins developed for 32-bit Office.  Many Word macros that you may have used with earlier versions of Word are also not supported.  That is why the 32-bit version of Office is Microsoft's default (recommended) installation on 64-bit computers; almost no one needs 64-bit Office to do word processing or any other Office functions unless they work with giant Excel files.  Click here to read Microsoft's discussion of this problem.

If you are using 64-bit Word, have your Microsoft Office installation disk, and wish to change to 32-bit Word, here is a tip from a customer: uninstall Office, then reinstall it from the disk, choosing the 32-bit option.  Nothing else needs to be changed.  When 32-bit Word is installed in the 32-bit directory on Windows 64-bit machines, Editor will install in that directory with full Add-In capability.  If you work with massive Excel files and need 64-bit Office 2010, then you cannot install Editor's Add-In, though you can install and run the Standard Version of Editor in the 32-bit directory, and it will read your 64-bit Word files.

If you're not sure whether your installed copy of Word is the 64-bit version, click the File tab, then Help.  Under "About Microsoft Word" is a Version line giving the bit information.
