This great program will check for about 25 different types of errors in your ms and you can get the version to integrate with MSWord. It's a great help and FAST. You can send in a trial piece to see this program strut its editing help before buying a year's contract.<br />Blessings,<br />Elva Cobb Martin www.elvamartin.com<br />VP ACFW-SC Elva Cobb Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03378198220116404256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-44916271886901935442018-03-28T10:28:56.961-04:002018-03-28T10:28:56.961-04:00Very wise advice,DiAnn!

I would always tell my writing teams; "If you only leave eight hours for an edit, you only get an eight-hour edit." My challenge is that even when I self-edit, then have other edits, I look back at my work a month later and still find a mistake. Then I get myself crazy all over again. Have to learn to let go of perfect.
