At the core of OnStyle is DocConfig, your company’s formatting blueprint.

A DocConfig defines:

  • Fonts and paragraph styles
  • Table formats
  • Caption settings
  • TOC, List of Figures, List of Tables
  • Page layout
  • Language settings
  • Header & footer rules

When applied:

  • Styles update automatically
  • Layout adjusts instantly
  • Authoring tools configure to your standards

Write with built-in Word automation tools

Draft your document with OnStyle’s authoring tools — one-click TOC and list insertion, preformatted tables, symbol insertion, and Smart Paste — so content lands correctly formatted as you write.

Run automated document validation

Check the document against your DocConfig before review. OnStyle validates formatting, styles, captions, cross-references, and layout — and lists every issue it finds.
