§ 02 — The macro library
Style guides that run.
Sixty-one routines for Microsoft Word and Google Docs, built and battle-tested on real manuscripts. Included with every engagement; licensed to editorial teams. Eight of the workhorses:
Rebuilds reference lists into any of nine citation styles; verifies every DOI against Crossref.
Reconciles in-text citations with the reference list; flags orphans, duplicates, and year mismatches.
Sweeps hyphens, en and em dashes; enforces ranges, compounds, and true minus signs.
Verifies every table and figure callout, numbering sequence, and caption-case consistency.
Applies a journal’s house style: units, abbreviations, capitalization, heading hierarchy.
Flags wordiness, double hedges, and filler — “it is important to note that…” never survives.
Builds the abbreviations table automatically and checks every first-use definition.
Straightens curly quotes, fixes spacing around units, inserts non-breaking spaces where required.
Licensing for editorial teams
The full library, quarterly updates, and onboarding for your production desk — journals and publishers run Edmacro macros on thousands of manuscripts a year.
