Whether you're writing reports, presentations, white papers, books, or promotional material, your finished document will look more professional if you keep word usage and spelling consistent throughout your documents.
To help yourself and others in your company remember the preferred spelling and usage of frequently used words and terms, create a copyediting style sheet (also called a specification sheet) and refer to it each time you work on a new project. Distribute copies to key members of your company, your web designer, and anyone who creates and edits documents for you. If you create documents for other companies, create a style sheet for each company that sends you work regularly.
