Interactive tools designed to help you write better, faster. All tools are completely free and require no signup.
Keep Word Table Rows Together
Inspect a DOCX and create a separate copy with row splitting turned off for supported table rows. Rows taller than a page can still split.
Word File Size Checker
See how much space images, embedded objects, fonts and other document parts occupy. Inspect locally before deciding what to reduce in Word.
Track Changes and Comments Checker
Count tracked changes and comments in a DOCX, see whether saved settings hide them, and download a copy with all changes accepted or rejected and comments removed.
Word Formatting Checker
Find why formatting keeps changing in a DOCX: styles set to update automatically, a template that reloads styles on open, and manual formatting. Download a copy with auto-update off.
Table of Contents Checker
Compare the table of contents saved in a DOCX with its headings, and find broken cross-references and locked fields.
Footnote Numbering Checker
Find why footnote numbers restart or skip in a DOCX, and download a copy numbered from 1 straight through.
