Getting Started

1. Download and install the extension from Chrome or Firefox extension stores. (Microsoft Edge users can install the Chrome extension.)
2. Go to the chatGPT website.
3. Type in a prompt that includes the text you want to edit, for example: `"Proofread this: [insert your text here]."`
4. Send the prompt to the chatGPT AI model.
5. In the menu bar at the top of the page, an 'editGPT' button will appear.
6. Click on the `'editGPT'` button to turn on editing mode.
7. Make any necessary edits to your text using the Accept and Reject buttons. You can also copy the final text to the clipboard (this accepts all changes).
8. You can keep the markup when exporting to Microsoft Word by simply copying the text and pasting it.
9. Click on the `'Editing Enabled'` button again to turn it off when you're done.
