Do editors need EditTools 5.0 if we are using Editor’s Toolkit Plus 2014 purchased from you. Thank you.

I’m not sure I understand your question, Bonnie. Editor’s Toolkit Plus 2014 is a separate program from Jack Lyon’s The Editorium. It, EditTools, and PerfectIt are sold together in a single package called Editor’s Toolkit Ultimate. It is the Ultimate package that is available at wordsnSync; I do not otherwise sell Editor’s Toolkit Plus 2014.
As for EditTools, you do not need any version of it to use just Editor’s Toolkit Plus 2014; they are different programs for different purposes. Basically, and this is a broad generalization, Toolkit Plus is used in the preparation stage to clean a file of common problems, such as extra spacing, changing nontypographical quote marks to typographical quote marks, removing extra paragraph returns, etc. EditTools is primarily used while editing. I use Toolkit Plus when I first open a file. I then use EditTools during editing.
There is a little overlap between the programs, but not a great deal of overlap.
As for version of EditTools, if you own any version of EditTools, you can upgrade to the newest release at no charge. However, if you are using Microsoft Word 2003, you cannot upgrade beyond version 5.9; EditTools version 6 and newer requires Microsoft Word 2007 or newer. In addition, EditTools only works with Word for Windows. The only way it will work on a Mac is if the Mac is running Windows emulation along with a version of Word for Windows.
