StyleWriter lets you add your own patterns so you can find particular problems that you may come across in your documents. These can be anything from your own common typing errors to special rules or conventions for your organization.

StyleWriter contains over 35,000 word and phrase patterns, and it searches for these in your writing. When one of these patterns matches the words in your text, StyleWriter displays an appropriate message giving you advice on what it has found. As you move to each match in your text, the matched text appears in the top of the advice window, showing the pattern that produced the match. StyleWriter groups the patterns into style categories. The category of the pattern appears in the top right corner of the advice window.
