If you’re an editor getting paid a flat or per-word fee, every second you save adds to your bottom line. And if you’re simply doing a favor for a colleague, you want to help them and get back to your own work quickly. If you’ve already invested in software like WordRake to expedite editing and get directly to improving substance, then you’re probably interested in saving a few more clicks. Here are three power editing tips to work even faster with WordRake. ## 1. Right Click to Accept or Reject The fastest editors know that every mouse gesture or click away from your work counts. If you want to open and work in another tab on the ribbon while reviewing WordRake edits, you can remain on that tab and access WordRake’s buttons by simply right-clicking the edit WordRake’s suggested. Right-clicking on any edit will let you accept or reject it straight from the context menu. ![WR v5 Right Click to Accept or Reject](https://www.wordrake.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Version%205.0%20With%20Callouts/WR%20v5%20Right%20Click%20to%20Accept%20or%20Reject.png?width=718&height=741&name=WR%20v5%20Right%20Click%20to%20Accept%20or%20Reject.png)   ## Get an in-house editor at your fingertips for 40 cents a day. WordRake editing software is a second pair of eyes to help polish your writing. [![Polish your writing.

Delete + Type to Edit While Raking Seeing WordRake’s suggestions can bring fresh perspective that sparks new ideas. If you decide you want to entirely revise some text because of a WordRake suggestion, you can delete the suggestion by pressing delete or backspace – you don’t have to accept or reject first. You can also select the suggestion and start typing. ![WR v5 Type +Delete](https://www.wordrake.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Version%205.0%20With%20Callouts/WR%20v5%20Type%20+Delete.png?width=729&height=478&name=WR%20v5%20Type%20+Delete.png) ## 3. Bulk Accept or Reject WordRake was designed to encourage you to review every editing suggestion individually. We believe you’ll make better editing choices if you do—that’s why there’s no Accept All button. But if you want to accept or reject all suggestions in a section (for instance, if there’s a quote or provision that cannot be changed no matter how poorly written), you can. Highlight the section you’d like to change in bulk, then click the Accept or Reject button. When you click the Accept or Reject button, WordRake will accept or reject all suggestions within the current selection. This can be handy for quickly removing all suggestions from a paragraph or doing a targeted Clear All. ![WR v5 Bulk Reject](https://www.wordrake.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Version%205.0%20With%20Callouts/WR%20v5%20Bulk%20Reject.png?width=718&height=512&name=WR%20v5%20Bulk%20Reject.png) ## Conclusion [WordRake](https://www.wordrake.com/) is the only editing program available that presents its suggestions in the familiar track-changes style. With the click of a button—in *seconds*—WordRake shows all suggested edits in-line. With these tips and tricks, you can work even faster with WordRake. If you’re an editor, you’ll increase the value you earn for an editing project. If you’re editing as favor to a colleague, you can make your suggestions quickly. And if you’re editing your own work, you’ll have more freedom to skip around and layer edits.

He’s also a *New York Times* bestselling author. As a writing expert and coach, Gary was inspired to create WordRake when he noticed a pattern in writing errors that he thought he could address with technology. In 2012, Gary and his team of engineers created WordRake editing software to help writers produce clear, concise, and effective prose. It runs in Microsoft Word and Outlook, and its suggested changes appear in the familiar track-changes style. It saves time and gives confidence. Writing and editing has never been easier. ×   © 2026 WordRake, LLC. 8415 154th Avenue NE,  Suite 200, Redmond, WA 98052. All rights reserved.
