What's New in Editor?

Our latest edition of Editor, 3.8, was released in November, 2011.  A brief, cumulative description of new features can be found here.

Results of our detailed performance studies of two widely promoted text-checking programs, Grammarly and Ginger, are in a new FAQ under COMPARISONS.  We have not run similar extensive studies of the other most-heavily advertised checker because too many of its users call it a "scam"; see our FAQ on WhiteSmoke.

The optional Microsoft Word Add-in that we brought out in July, 2010, installs on Word's toolbar and allows direct editing in Word 2003-2010 documents with Editor's analytical output (USAGE) comments displayed on screen.  This feature has delighted Editor users who prefer editing directly in Word rather than working with Editor's output files.  Editor 3.8 itself, with or without the Word add-in, works exactly as the earlier versions do but with more linguistic sophistication and power.

Interested writers may download a free, 10-day-trial copy of Editor 3.8, with the Word add-in included for those interested, from the Internet.  The trial copy has no advertising banners or pop-ups, and we keep no records of trial-copy downloads except their total.

The Standard Version of Editor, without the add-in, will continue to be sold, and regularly upgraded, as before.

Editor is distributed via the Internet.  Verified buyers will receive, usually within twelve to twenty-four hours, an e-mail with a Web link, allowing immediate download of the version of Editor they have purchased.  The same buy-and-download system is available for upgrades.
