And has anyone implemented a dependable workflow for validating case citations — case names, signals, pincites, and short forms — against The Bluebook (21st ed.) within Word 365? I’m weighing PerfectIt and built-in macros against running KeyCite/Shepard’s, and would appreciate templates or tools that minimize toggling between Word and Westlaw/Lexis during a 300-footnote law review edit.
But , 300 footnotes in Word 365 is brutal. “PerfectIt and built-in macros against running KeyCite/Shepard’s, and would appreciate templates or tools that” — I’ve had best luck pairing PerfectIt’s American Legal Style with Westlaw Drafting Assistant so KeyCite runs inside Word; it nails signal caps, short forms, and most pincites without tabbing out. Caveat: PerfectIt won’t validate authorities, just format/consistency; I can share my wildcard set for id./supra and pincite patterns if you want.
