Editorial Policy

Last updated: November 2, 2026

This policy explains how the guides on DocuDojo are written, checked and kept up to date, and the rules we follow so you can trust what you read.

What this covers

DocuDojo is an independent website that teaches Microsoft Word through step-by-step guides, learning paths, a glossary and a quiz. It is published by Socotropo SL, the site owner.

How a guide is made

We start from a real problem

Every guide begins with a situation you have probably faced: the table of contents that won't update, the picture that keeps jumping around, the text you paste from ChatGPT that arrives with odd formatting. We explain the idea in plain words, give the exact menu path and show the result you should get. No filler, no unexplained jargon.

We test every step in Word

Before a guide is published, a person works through the steps in Microsoft 365 (Word and Excel for Windows), with the interface set to English and to Spanish. The tab, button and dialog names you see in the guides are the ones that appear on screen, not approximate translations.

PDF guides are checked against each tool's official documentation (Adobe Acrobat's help, PDF24's list of tools and PdfCraft's official repository) and against Word and Excel in Microsoft 365. Acrobat menu paths match its current interface; Adobe changes it often, so every guide shows its date. When a tool is still in development, like PdfCraft, we say so and explain what it already does well and what it doesn't yet.

When a feature had a different name in earlier versions (for example, Word 2016 or 2019), we say so. When something differs in Word for Mac, each guide says so in its Mac note. If we are not sure how a feature behaves in a particular version, such as Word for the web, we would rather not claim it.

English and Spanish, same quality

Every guide is published in English and in Spanish. Neither version is a literal translation of the other: each is written in natural language and uses the labels Word shows in that language. This matters more than it sounds, because even keyboard shortcuts change: in English Word, Ctrl+N opens a new document; in Spanish Word, it applies bold.

What every guide includes

• A direct answer at the top, with the menu path, for readers who just want the fix.
• Numbered steps, each with a clear action, where to click and what to expect.
• Pro tips and common mistakes with their fixes.
• A Mac note with what changes (or confirmation that the path is the same).
• FAQs and related guides to keep learning.
• Sources: when a guide cites documentation, it links only to official Microsoft support pages.
• The date it was last updated, shown on every guide.

Keeping guides current

Word changes. Microsoft renames buttons, moves options and adds features several times a year. That is why every guide shows when it was last reviewed, and why we revise the text when we notice a change or when a reader points one out.

Corrections

Mistakes can happen; leaving them uncorrected is not an option. If you find a step that doesn't work, a mislabeled button or a shortcut that does nothing, email us at hello@docudojo.com. It helps a lot if you include:

• the link to the guide;
• your version of Word and your system (Windows or Mac);
• what you expected to happen and what actually happened.

We read every report and fix confirmed errors within days. When a correction changes the content in a meaningful way, we update the guide's date.

Advertising does not shape the content

DocuDojo is funded by ads served by Google AdSense. Google selects the ads automatically; we do not choose which ad a given person sees, and we do not write guides to favor any advertiser. No advertiser decides which topics we cover, reviews the text before it is published or can ask us to change it.

We do not publish sponsored content or paid reviews. To learn what data the ads use and how to manage it, see the cookie policy.

How we use artificial intelligence

We use AI tools to support the writing process: to organize a draft, suggest examples or check that a passage is clear. AI does not decide which guides get published and does not verify that the steps work. A person does that, in a real copy of Word, before each guide goes live. No guide is published without that manual review.

Several guides mention ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Copilot because they explain how to bring AI-generated text into Word and fix its formatting. These are trademarks of their respective owners (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and Microsoft), who play no part in producing our guides.

Independence from Microsoft

Microsoft, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Microsoft 365 and Copilot are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. DocuDojo is an independent site: it is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Microsoft. We use those names only to identify the software we write about, and the interface illustrations that accompany the steps serve a purely educational purpose.

What we don't do

• We don't give legal advice. Many guides include examples for lawyers and other professionals (contracts, briefs, clause numbering), but they explain how to use Word, not what your document should say.
• We don't guarantee results. We test each guide carefully, but every version of Word, every interface language and every computer can behave differently. If something doesn't match, tell us.
• We don't claim what we haven't checked. If we are unsure about a shortcut, we describe the menu path instead of guessing.

Quoting and reusing our content

The guides belong to Socotropo SL. You may quote excerpts with a link to the original guide, and search engines and AI assistants may index and cite our content as long as they credit the source. What is not allowed is copying whole guides or reselling them. The details are in the terms of use.
