The setting

A selection in Word protects focused review but obscures whole-contract intent.
Keeping selected-text review convenient competes with making partial coverage unmistakable.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I highlighted the liability clause to discuss it, then realized the review hadn't checked anything else.”
Sofia Garcia · Commercial Counsel · a character in this brief
Reviews supplier agreements in Word and alternates between individual clauses and complete contracts.
What is at stake
Six of ten lawyers mistake a review of selected text for a check of their whole contract. You must weigh clearer scope confirmation against a whole-document default that adds work for lawyers reviewing one clause.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- whole-contract coverage vs convenient clause review
- visible confirmation vs fewer interactions
- one release slot vs two credible fixes
