It took a little getting use to, but I thought it was a very useful tool. I'm not sure about checking for a specific style guides. MaxIt has it's own set of rules and I don't remember if that was one of the options for editing how the software worked. I know that they now have a version that is MaxIt "light". Less money and not all that much hand holding. With the whole package they come in an train the users on the product and work with you to develop your terminology. John is a transplanted Aussie with a great sense of humor. His product was developed out of the aerospace business. Even though I don't have MaxIt at my current job, I still use the skills developed with MaxIt. HTH Beth Tripp Has anyone used MAXit?

Something that does the following: You need to look into Controlled English. I doubt you'll get your entire wish list (without spending a fortune on customization and consulting), but you can get 90% of what you need. Check out Smart Communications (http://www.smartny.com/) -- they seem to be the leader in the field. I can't directly vouch for them, or anyone else -- we've only done some preliminary investigation.
