Tip #23: Keep word choices and formal writing in check

Have you ever felt like maybe your content could've been written better, but you're not sure how to improve it? Whether you're working on a report or drafting a contract, writing them with brevity would help your readers comprehend it easily. 



Our writing assistant Zia, is trained to offer better word choices and keep your formal writing in check. Here's how: 


Better Word Choices
 
Zia can identify words that are considered complex, biased and obsolete in your writing and comes up with more simple and effective words you can use. 


 

To enable word choice suggestions, go to the  Language and Suggestions tab> Writing Quality  and turn on Improper Word Choices.


 

Keep formal writing in check
 
It's always considered best to avoid casual language when you draft formal documents. Zia can identify informal language like slang, abbreviations and more in official documents and replace them with their formal equivalents. 


 

To enable suggestions for informal writing, go to the Language and Suggestions tab>Writing Quality and turn on Informal Writing.


 

If you're working on more laid back documents, you can choose what suggestions you want Zia to show by clicking on the Language Settings icon on the Suggestions card.


 

Alternatively, you can turn off the suggestions by going to the Language and Suggestions tab>Writing Quality and turn off Improper Word Choices and Informal Writing.
 

 
 


Happy writing!
