@somoroff @edibuddies My suggestion is #PerfectIt first, then look at ETK+. I use PerfectIt on every document. There's one macro I use in ETK frequently (revert change) and a handful of the other tools in it occasionally (combine files, word count for multiple files, manual styling -> word styles). I still have the prior version of ETK; a new one just came out that I haven't upgraded to yet.

@PamelaBarroway @BookwormYogi @somoroff @edibuddies #PerfectIt can't be used directly in Google Docs. What I do is export the doc to Word, run PerfectIt in Word, and make any needed changes manually in GDocs.
