What is TNTEdit?
Microsoft Word is a powerful and complex application designed primarily
for creating documents from scratch. When it comes to revising existing
documents, editors have found many of its "helpful" features get in the
way of editing. Functions that would be genuinely helpful for editing
are either hard to find, do not work the way you need, or are missing
altogether. It offers no simple way to create a clear printout for review
that shows editorial changes and allows the user to address queries to
the author.
TNTEdit is a Microsoft Word® Template designed to make Word
a convenient and useful tool for editing. It allows you to use familiar
editing and typemarking conventions and work the way you choose. TNTEdit
is designed to handle a wide range of trade and academic book projects,
with features for editing notes, tables, and figure captions, creating
simple math equations, and calling out artwork placement.
Special attention has been paid to make the template easy to work with:
- Editing functions are readily available on toolbars or context-sensitive
right mouse button menus
- Icons, dialogue boxes, and other displays have been designed for maximum
legibility (yes, you can actually see the special characters)
- All editing functions have keyboard shortcuts assigned to them
The template also keeps track of which folder you're working in, how
options are currently set, and even the page number of the last page printed;
messages and dialog boxes offer clear explanations and prompts.
The TNTEdit template harnesses the power of Word and puts it under the
editor's control.
