Errors

Use Errors for a final drafting check or to work through issues while reviewing an agreement.

Open a category to review its findings.

Run the checks

1. Open Errors in the Word add-in.
2. Select Run all, or run the check you need.
3. Open a finding to see the affected wording.
4. Move to the occurrence in Word, review the context, and apply an available correction or edit the document yourself.
5. Dismiss a finding if the wording is intentional.

What you can check

• Missing or broken cross-references, including references that break when content is copied from another file. Review the suggested link and update it where appropriate.
• Undefined terms that may have been used without a definition.
• Inconsistent capitalization of terms within the agreement.
• Typos and fragments, including wording that may be incomplete.
• Forgotten placeholders before circulating or signing the final version.

If a finding appears several times, use its occurrence controls to check each location. Review a Fix all action carefully before applying it across the document.

After making changes, run the relevant check again. Unlike the Definitions list, the findings are not a continuously refreshed list of everything currently wrong in the document.

For firm-specific drafting conventions, see House styles.
