Most of drafting a lease is still writing prose — adjusting a definition, tightening a representation, expanding a covenant. The editor's job is to handle that part the way any document editor should: comfortably, predictably, without getting in your way.
01What the editor handles
The basics behave the way you'd expect. Place the cursor and type. Select with the mouse or keyboard. Navigate, split, merge, paste. The toolbar covers the rest of what you reach for in normal drafting — formatting, type, color, layout, lists, and a few document-level controls. A handful of specialty Word features aren't in the toolbar, but nothing you need on a daily basis is missing.
02What stays in the background
What's different is what you don't have to think about. The lease's numbering stays consistent on its own. Reorder a section and the surrounding numbers update. Start a new section and it slots into the document's outline at the right level. Insert a list and it picks up the structure that fits the part of the document you're in.
NoteThe editor's job is to stay out of the way so the lease structure can do its job.
