There seems to be a little panic about what's genAI and what isn't. But macro compilers like PerfectIt and Word spell check are not. If you've been using Grammarly, now's a great time to stop.

YES PerfectIt is fantastic for stuff like this! I run PerfectIt and the start of the copyedit and after I've done my main editing pass to find discrepancies like this and update the style sheet accordingly. #StetChat

Spent the last 1 hour troubleshooting Word - some keyboard shortcuts (involving J, N, and the up/down arrows) stopped working. Finally identified a link with a PerfectIt update 😭 Contacted the PerfectIt people; am hoping they can resolve it! (Any #Edibuddies experienced this?) #AmNotEditing

Today is an editorial axe sharpening day.
Instead of editing the manuscript, I'm preparing to edit it. This includes setting up the style sheet, using macros, running PerfectIt and Spellcheck, and performing targeted checks (e.g., ensuring smart quotes are used).
