Finishing the Checks

When the checks are complete, you can exit PerfectIt or carry out additional document finalization tasks. PerfectIt 5 displays this screen when the checks are complete:

To start any of the document finalization tasks, click Go next to the task you wish to run. The document finalization tasks available in PerfectIt 5 are described below:

  • Update table of contents: If the document has a table of contents, this will update it to reflect any changes that have been made to headings.

  • Update cross-references: This will update cross-references such as table numbering.

  • Convert multiple spaces to one: This will convert every location in the document with more than one space to just one space.

  • Remove spaces after paragraphs: This removes any trailing spaces from the ends of paragraphs.

  • Cut spaces before punctuation: If there are any leading spaces in the document before commas, question marks, exclamation marks, full stops or semi-colons, this removes those spaces.

  • Accept all tracked changes: If changes in the document have been tracked, this removes Word’s memory of all such changes by accepting the document in its present form.

  • Remove all comment boxes: If there are comments in the document, this will remove them.

  • Clear document properties: This removes certain properties from the document and prompts the user to run Word’s Document Inspector.
