The new version (3) of Smart Edit is out; find it at the link above. Significant feature improvements have been made apparently. Among others, the software can now edit directly Word and Open Office documents.

Full price is now $59.95 and there appears to be no free version. PageFour license owners like myself should have received an offer to purchase at 25% off within a week.

The software is aimed at ‘creative’ writers; I assume this means fiction. I find non-fictional reality quite complex as it is, and not planning to start a novel anytime soon (then again, neither did people like Jeffrey Archer…). Nevertheless, it seems to me that Smart Edit’s developer has done his homework, putting together a tool which is straightforward to use and which could provide useful insights to writers beyond his core target group.
