Style and spelling: editors' tools
Style guides present the preferred forms and styles for editors to apply to texts they are editing. Style guides collect the knowledge and experience of many editors over many years.
Dictionaries
When editing, editors refer to many references, none more so than dictionaries.
The Macquarie Dictionary is the accepted dictionary for Australian publishers. If your publication is for an international audience, you may wish to apply US spellings, for example, 'z' not 's' in organisation, or '-or' not '-our' in harbour.
Unless you prefer another dictionary, I will use the Macquarie Dictionary Online when editing your publication or document. Please let me know if you prefer another dictionary.
