DocStyle

DocStyle is a document productivity suite designed for legal professionals working in Microsoft Word. The product automates document cleanup, formatting, style management, and review functions across a range of modules, enabling law firms and corporate legal departments to standardize drafting workflows and repurpose existing documents more efficiently.

Key features and functions include:

Format Wizard
A combined cleanup and formatting workflow that analyzes a document, groups paragraphs by type, applies numbering schemes and paragraph styles, and processes the entire document in a single automated pass. Cross-references are retained and updated as numbering shifts.

Document Cleanup Tools
Includes a suite of functions for removing inherited styles, resetting formatting, managing section and column breaks, stripping tracked changes and comments, and applying global formatting preferences such as fonts, spacing, justification, and margins. A Toolbox panel provides on-demand access to common cleanup operations.

Automatic Styles and Numbering
Analyzes document content to apply appropriate paragraph styles and multilevel numbering schemes, including options for numbered and non-numbered paragraphs. Tools for building outlines, managing and importing numbering schemes, and generating tables of contents support structured drafting workflows.

PDF Conversion
DocStyle Convert transforms legal PDF files — including agreements, pleadings, and contracts — into editable Word documents, with recognition of section breaks, headers and footers, numbering, tables of contents, and footnotes. A separate Insert PDF function allows individual pages or page ranges to be inserted into an active Word document as editable text or as margin-sized images for exhibits and addenda.

Web Paste
Strips web formatting from clipboard content before pasting into Word, preventing hidden characters and structural formatting conflicts.

Contract Review Utilities
Surfaces and organizes typed cross-references and numbered paragraph references, and provides a defined terms check that identifies all defined terms in a document, flags capitalization and formatting inconsistencies, and generates a clickable index. Defined terms can be toggled between paragraph and table display formats.

Advanced Style Management
Doc Info extracts document statistics, metadata, and formatting condition data. DocStyle Pane and Style Match allow bulk application and auditing of paragraph styles. Style rename propagates changes automatically throughout a document.

DocStyle Compare
A document comparison module that identifies insertions, deletions, and formatting changes between two versions of a document. Supports side-by-side review in Word, Quick Compare, Clipboard Compare, and output in track changes or static formats. Integrates with iManage Work 10, NetDocuments, Open Text eDOCS DM, and Worldox GX4. Supports 21 languages for image-based PDF comparison.

DocStyle Inspect
A metadata removal tool for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files. Includes a standalone Windows application for bulk metadata scrubbing of folders, and an Outlook integration for cleaning files prior to sending. A central admin console supports configuration and management of removal settings across an organization.

DocStyle Fusion (AI Enhancement Layer)
Announced at ILTACON 2025, DocStyle Fusion is a subscription-based AI feature set that integrates generative AI capabilities into the existing DocStyle suite. The first released feature, SmartPaste, cleans and styles content generated by AI tools such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot before insertion into Word, preserving numbering, definitions, and firm formatting standards.
