How do I turn on PerfectIt's legal checking?

PerfectIt can be used for checking legal documents in any country. However, if you produce legal documents in the United States, we've built an extra level of legal checking with PerfectIt's American Legal Style. If you turn on American Legal Style, PerfectIt will:

·         enforce hyphenation and italicization based on Black’s Law Dictionary;

·         check for common Bluebook formatting errors; and

·         search for common errors arising from autocorrect, spellcheck or dictation tools.

Instructions for how to turn on American Legal Style are shown for both PerfectIt for Word (Windows) and PerfectIt Cloud below. You only need to turn it on once and then PerfectIt will remember your selection.
