Still working the hard way? If you're editing, writing, or typesetting in Microsoft Word, our program add-ins will save you time and money and improve the editorial and typographical quality of every project. If you're working on long documents (such as books), you'll find some of our programs indispensable. Click the blue links below to find out more. You may also be interested in our free newsletter, Editorium Update, which provides unusually useful tips on working in Microsoft Word.
A program add-in is a collection of macros that run in Microsoft Word, making it do any number of things it couldn't ordinarily handle, such as finding and replacing multiple items, cleaning up common editorial problems, and extracting embedded footnotes. All of our programs include batch processing, letting you do in minutes what used to take hours. Why not give them a try?
IndexDeconstructor converts a back-of-the-book index into a tab-delimited file that can be imported into a standalone indexing program such as SKY Index, CINDEX, or MACREX.
DEXembed embeds entries from indexes created in SKY Index, CINDEX, or MACREX.
ScrIndex finds and indexes scripture citations in a Microsoft Word document.
Editor's ToolKit Plus, our premier program, includes Editor's ToolKit, FileCleaner, QuarkConverter, and NoteStripper, all in one integrated program. This comprehensive editing suite gives you the tools to take a publication from raw manuscript to finished files ready for typesetting.
Editor's ToolKit provides powerful tools for editing in Microsoft Word, including the ability to show and stet revisions at the touch of a key. Quickly transpose words, transpose characters, change case, insert dashes and bullets, mark spec levels, change text to true title case, and much more.
FileCleaner cleans up common typographical problems in electronic manuscripts, including multiple spaces, multiple returns, spaces around dashes, improperly typed ellipses, ells used as ones, directly applied font formatting (while retaining character formatting such as italic), and so on. Many of our customers say they can't live without this program.
NoteStripper strips embedded, automatically-numbered notes as numbered text to the end of a document (while retaining italics and other formatting), or converts text notes into embedded, automatically-numbered ones! It can also strip notes inline with typesetting codes for Ventura, PageMaker, TeX, fXT, and other typesetting programs. In addition, it can strip notes to and from the ends of sections (as well as the ends of documents), and it provides a variety of other tools to make working with notes a snap.
QuarkConverter converts edited Word documents into XPressTag files that can be imported into QuarkXPress while retaining style names and character formatting such as italic and bold. Fixes bad hyphenation and other typographical problems. Provides cross-platform character conversion from PC to Mac or Mac to PC. Converts Word index entries into QuarkXPress index entries, allowing editors to index in Word. QuarkConverter may cut your typesetting time and expenses in half.
DEXter makes indexing in Word a snap. If you're tired of messing with XE codes and bookmarks, you need DEXter—the first truly professional indexing program for Microsoft Word documents.
ListFixer converts automatic numbers and bullets into fixed numbers and bullets—or vice versa—for lists in the active document, all open documents, or all documents in a folder. It also applies fixed numbers and bullets to selected paragraphs, so you can number lists with real numbers in a flash. If you're tearing your hair out over automatic lists, you need ListFixer!
MegaReplacer replaces multiple text strings (characters, words, or phrases), text formatting, or styles in multiple documents. The perfect tool for achieving complete consistency in a manuscript or for cleaning up all kinds of errors in one fell swoop. Don't waste your time making the same old editorial changes over and over again. Let MegaReplacer do it for you!
MultiMacro automates repetitive tasks by running a list of macros or Word commands on all open documents or all documents in a folder. The ultimate in batch processing with Microsoft Word.
Puller copies delimited items (such as parenthetical source citations or typesetting codes) from the active document, all open documents, or all documents in a folder. It pastes the items into a new document, sorts them alphabetically, and deletes duplicates, leaving you with a comprehensive list of the delimited items in your project. You can use the list to compile a bibliography, create a typesetting spec sheet, and so on, depending on the delimited items you specified.
RazzmaTag finds Microsoft Word formatting and tags it with user-defined codes—or vice versa—in an open document, all open documents, or all documents in a folder. It's the perfect tool for tagging Word files for typesetting programs such as QuarkXPress, Ventura, or TeX—or for turning tagged files into formatted Word documents.
WordCounter counts the number of words, pages, and characters in the active document, all open documents, or all documents in a folder. If you bill by the page or just need to get a handle on the size of your projects, you'll find this macro indispensable.
WordSetter makes it possible to adjust word spacing (tracking); insert crop marks; automatically style block quotations, lists, and poetry; and (on a Macintosh) use ligatures in Microsoft Word. It also includes other features and organizes Word to make typesetting and desktop publishing easy.

"I'm crazy about Editor's Toolkit Plus! Greatest thing since Velveeta. I recommend it every chance I get." —Craig T., Annapolis, Maryland."
"I was prepared to go to great lengths to get Editor's ToolKit Plus going for this next project, and I am delighted that I will have it on my primary computer! (By the way, I am not always this enthusiastic about so-called editorial timesavers—one press that I work for has a complex set of custom macros put together by an outside vendor that I refuse to use—I'll still work for them, but only on pencil edits. Your stuff is elegant: it does what it says it will do, well.)" —Deborah R.
"Thank you for MultiMacro! What a great product! Just now wrote some macros and ran them successfully against a folder's worth of manuscripts. I could cry I'm so grateful. You've made my day." —Melissa B., Chester, New York
"These are the very best add-ons I have ever bought—I use them all the time, and love them! Thank you so much!" —Laura L., Mesa, Arizona
"I have been using FileCleaner for the past few months, and it is a fabulous, indispensable program. I really can't imagine working without it." —Elizabeth C., North York, Ontario
"I'm amazed at what you have put together and make available to others! What a wonderful resource!" —Terry Y., Belleville, Illinois
"I certainly like your Editor's Toolkit Plus. It is great stuff and fully worth the price." —Richard O., Geneva, Switzerland
"I just used NoteStripper for real for the first time and it worked like a charm. . . . NoteStripper is the answer to my prayers. Thank you!" —Barbara S., Ithaca, New York
"I hope you're swamped with incoming money for FileCleaner—I have been using it non-stop since I got it!" —Wayne T., Slovenia
"People ask how I can underbid my competition by so much. I just smile and tell them I have some special programs to help me." —Patricia P., Salt Lake City, Utah
"Thanks for NoteStripper; what an amazing program. . . . I took most of yesterday to do 'The Wars of The Jews' by Flavius Josephus. It had text-only footnotes at the end of each chapter. . . . After Notestripper made the footnotes . . . Word obligingly renumbered them all, etc. I ended up with hundreds of footnotes in a very large book—all perfect." —Doug C., Edina, Minnesota
"With a small amount of effort in creating the macros, I was able to complete this sophisticated project [with MultiMacro] on almost 100 files in a small amount of time. Thanks again!" —Joe Z., Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey
"After reading a post about your programs on the Editorial Freelancer Association's list serv, I downloaded an evaluation copy of Editor's Toolkit Plus, and ran a few tests with it on some files I'm getting ready to edit. And all I have to say is WOW! I think I'm in love! (With the program, that is =) What a timesaver; this is awesome! You can bet I'll register my copy when my 45 days are up. Thanks for developing a program that allows editors to concentrate on our great love—THE WORDS—without getting all hung up on all that other junk!" —René S., Golden, Colorado
Doug Clapp, who makes wonderful books for Microsoft Reader at PocketPCpress, posted the following unsolicited testimonial on his Web site. We blush to repeat it:
We now interrupt this boilerplate stuff to praise Jack Lyon [proprietor of the Editorium].
If Jack didn't exist, many of the books on this site wouldn't exist. Oh, they might exist in time, but their creation would have been much much harder. Maybe even "too hard"; I'm not sure. It's like this. Turning text into a Microsoft Reader eBook usually involves lots of formatting, editing, munging and messing with text and punctuation. It's often a sweaty three-way bout between me, the text and Microsoft Word.
I usually win the match (not always, but usually) thanks in large part to tools that Jack Lyon makes. Jack is quite simply the Microsoft Word Jedi Master. Obi-Jack.
Jack creates and sells (very reasonably!) collections of macros that automate tasks in Word that would be hard to do "by hand"—and in some cases, just flat out wouldn't be possible to do. Amazing things. Incredibly useful. Priced right. And really really fast.
His tools can be found on his quite civilized website: editorium.com. If you use Word to do your job, like me, and have wished that Word "could only do this or only do that" . . . check it out. And you can also sign up for a free weekly newsletter of tips and tricks for Microsoft Word. Betchallearnalot. Great stuff.
Thanks, Jack!
