Why Button Color-Coding
Previous Top Next

You will notice that T.A. Toolbar has ranks of colored buttons.  Pretty, isn't it? These colors are there to help you find the right button quickly.  The white buttons are for remarks about thesis statements; the green buttons are for paragraph-level errors; the blue buttons for sentence-level errors; the yellow buttons for word-level errors; the red buttons for punctuation errors; the black buttons for logical fallacies; and the maroon buttons for documentation errors.

Each button also has a "screen-tip" (a yellow balloon that pops up when you roll the mouse over it) that will tell you what the button does, if it isn't already self- evident.

Of course, it's possible you may click the wrong button and insert a stray remark. If this happens, just click Word's "undo" button in the standard toolbar and the remark will disappear.
