11. Strong Chinese word processing capabilities. STGuru is also a strong Chinese word, phrase and file processor. Many specialized tools are provided:

• Professional character count, word count, paragraph count and line count for text, files and folders (the key statistics are the same as those by Microsoft Word). While most applications providing word count feature do not even know there are differences in word count results for text between English, Simplified Chinese in GBK and Traditional Chinese in Big5, STGuru has been specially optimized separately for text in these three languages or language variations, so its results are the same as that by respective versions of Microsoft Word.
• Professional-level text find/replace and batch replace
• Three page cleaning macros are embedded in the Batch Replace module. They can quickly clean the layout of text in English, Simplified Chinese (GBK) and Traditional Chinese (Big5) based on respective language conventions with guidelines provided and carefully verified by linguists specialized in respective languages or language variations.
• Text difference check
• Line sorting
• Redundant line analysis and cleaning
• Mergence, split and swap of glossary entries
• The word adjustment system itself is also an advanced term management system. It manages terms in project packs. In each pack, you can manage one or several libraries; you can conveniently add, modify, delete, find/search, cut, copy, paste entries. While adding/editing entries, STGuru can check for repetitive entries automatically, so you do not need to worry that you may add one term in a library twice. Terms are automatically sorted in the library (glossary) after they are added, so the source file for each library is a text file containing a sorted glossary. Each pack is self-contained and is comprised of a simple pack management text file and one or several plain-text library (glossary) files. Such a project is portable, and can be easily shared whenever necessary. Glossaries can be easily merged (simply append the text of one source file at the end of another!). When you open a merged library in STGuru, the program will reorganize its entries automatically. If there are repeating entries, you will see a wizard that guides you through merging repeating entries one by one.
