PerfectIt will be integrated into my editing routine whenever I’m working on large documents. Overall, I’m stoked to finally have this popular Word add-in. There were also a couple of times where PerfectIt missed inconsistencies this was probably due to a Microsoft bug that causes the program to sometimes skip items with tracked changes in the middle of them, even when those tracked changes are hidden.

Some of the tests were time-consuming, but the results were impressive: PerfectIt flagged inconsistencies that I’d missed or been completely unaware of, as they’d been swallowed up by the sheer size of the document.

PerfectIt runs a series of tests on your document (remember to hide any markup beforehand) to check for errors and inconsistencies. Installing and launching PerfectIt Cloud was effortless.

PerfectIt Cloud requires either Office 365 or Office 2016 to run. This was the perfect test for PerfectIt, which is designed to eliminate inconsistencies in usage and style - the kinds of errors that are easy to miss and can eat away at your valuable time via endless Find/Replace cycles if you (like me) aren’t an expert in macros. My beta version came through just in time: I was working on a project that involved large documents that had been written by multiple authors.
