Your style sheet lives in a Word document or notebook

How Styleworks works
Log once. Check automatically.
Styleworks replaces the manual step between writing down your style decisions and applying them. Three things happen, and you only do the first one.
You record your style decisions
You record all your terminology preferences and style decisions in Styleworks just as you’d note them down anywhere. It fits into how you already work.
Styleworks turns them into checks
Styleworks takes each preference and generates all the variations needed to check it automatically including plurals, verb forms, related terms.
PerfectIt checks your document
PerfectIt, the leading document consistency tool, checks your whole document for adherence to your style decisions.
Think of it this way:
Styleworks is where you build your style.
PerfectIt is where you apply it.
Styleworks helps you record terminology preferences and style decisions in one place. PerfectIt then checks your documents against those rules automatically.
Before Styleworks, building custom styles for PerfectIt often meant translating style decisions into technical find-and-replace patterns. It was possible, but it took time and expertise, and many editors decided it wasn't worth the effort.
Styleworks removes that barrier. You record your preferences in plain editorial language. Styleworks prepares them for checking, and PerfectIt applies them across your documents.
Together, they give editors a faster, more practical way to create, manage, and apply their style.
Styleworks is free. You'll only need a PerfectIt subscription when you're ready to run checks against your documents.
What is PerfectIt?
PerfectIt is the leading document consistency checker used by professional editors around the world.

Styleworks makes it easy to build custom styles for PerfectIt. Together they give Mac editors a faster way to create, manage, and apply their own style rules.
What you get
How this changes your workflow
Styleworks doesn’t ask you to change how you edit. It changes what happens after you’ve made a decision.
1.
No technical setup, no Windows required
This is the first time Mac users have been able to build PerfectIt style sheets directly. Styleworks is designed for editors, not developers. If you can log a preference, you can use it.
2.
Stop checking the same things twice
Once a preference is logged, Styleworks remembers it. PerfectIt checks for it. You don’t need to Cmd+F for it again or, to rely on remembering at the end of a long document.
3.
Catch what you’d otherwise miss
Manual checking under deadline pressure misses things. Automated checking doesn’t. Your style is applied consistently even on documents you’ve been staring at for hours.
4.
Keep separate styles for clients or projects
Different clients or projects need different style sheets. Styleworks gives you a clean record of every editorial decision you make for each of your projects, ready to share with authors and clients.
