Answering almost any question about a contract involves navigation, and Contract Tools makes this as simple as browsing the web. Double-click a defined term to go to where it’s defined, and double-click a cross-reference to go to what it references. When you’re finished, use the Back and Forward buttons to get back to what you were doing.

Analysis is the basis of everything in Contract Tools, and it’s blazingly fast. In a few seconds or less, Contract Tools proofreads your document, links up cross-references and defined terms, finds to-dos, and much more. As you type and delete text, analysis updates instantly. All of this happens on your PC, not on a remote server – so your documents stay yours.

* Testing conducted by Paper Software in April 2021 using a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 computer with an Intel Core i7-10510U processor, 16GB of RAM, Windows 10 Pro (64‑bit, version 20H2, build 19042.928), and Word for Microsoft 365 (64-bit, version 2103, build 13901.20462). Testing consisted of using Contract Tools v1.36.0.0, customized to include a timer, to calculate the average duration of 10 analyses of a contract of approximately the specified page length. All settings were default. Performance tests are conducted using a specific computer system and reflect the approximate performance of Contract Tools.
