Produced by an organization to communicate its language preferences, a House Style is usually created before an editing project begins. Developing a House Style helps promote unified, consistent communication from the organization. To promote and enforce the house style, the organisation prepares style sheets for their writers and editors.
A style sheet records the editorial decisions and rules that need to be adhered to during editing, ensuring consistency throughout a document. It contains rules for various uses of language, terminology, capitalisation, abbreviations, formatting preferences, etc.
Styleworks lets you build and manage style sheets of any type, large or small, and also provides the ability to use these style sheets automatically with PerfectIt for greater efficiency and consistency.
