Ah, thought others might have similar things branded for each firm! Sorry! Essentially it can auto format things to standards (bullets, takeaway boxes, colors, etc) , custom formulas, check for standards, create running agendas. and align things automatically.

Stuff like that! I was trying to align things on my personal machine and missed it so much.
