There’s a button on Pro Writing Aid’s toolbar to remove these highlights, but it overwrites any background colours you’ve used in your text. When editing in Word, these highlights appear as changes to your document, so you won’t want to have “Track changes” turned on or you’ll be overwhelmed with amendments. A summary page shows which reports found problems, and from there you can drill down into the individual reports, which highlight any problems in different colours. The Options panel lets you choose which reports to run cutting down the number you run speeds up processing.
Pro Writing Aid produces up to 19 different reports, covering issues including overused words, sentence length variation, complex words and “sticky” sentences (that is, sentences that contain a large number of “glue words” – short words the reader has to wade through to get to the meaning).
