Question 1

What does 'fix punctuation spacing' do?

Accepted Answer

It removes spaces before commas and full stops, guarantees one space after them, and collapses double spaces — the most common issues after heavy editing.

Question 2

Why straighten quotes and dashes?

Accepted Answer

Word processors auto-convert quotes to curly versions and hyphens to en dashes. Those characters can break code, citation managers and plain-text submissions, so straightening them makes text portable.

Question 3

Can I turn a bullet list into numbered points?

Accepted Answer

Yes — tick 'Remove bullet characters' together with 'Number the lines' and your list is renumbered cleanly from 1.

Question 4

Does formatting change my wording?

Accepted Answer

No. Only whitespace, punctuation spacing, quote characters and line order change. Your words are untouched.
