Create Multiple Document Versions with Kutools AI (Formal / Simplified / External)
The same document rarely fits all audiences. Executives want a formal, complete version; frontline teams need a short, scannable brief; clients and partners require an external-safe copy with sensitive details removed. Duplicating files and hand-editing each version is slow and error-prone. Kutools for Word — AI lets you generate Formal / Simplified / External versions from one source file—write once, reuse many times.
✨ At a Glance What Kutools AI Can Do
- Generate multiple stylistic versions (formal, concise, persuasive, simplified) while keeping the original meaning
- Summarize long sections into clear takeaways
- Shorten content while preserving key points
- Analyze tone, structure, and gaps (what’s missing, what’s redundant)
- Rewrite for clarity, logic, or audience fit
- Translate between languages
- Compose new paragraphs or emails from bullets or prompts
Step-by-step: Generate a different stylistic version from a document
- Install and enable Kutools for Word.
- Prepare your source document.
Copy the original document to create a new document.
If you need multiple versions (for example, formal, simplified, or external),
duplicate the source document multiple times and apply different requirements to each copy.
- Open the copy of the document that you want to generate a new edition from.
- Go to Kutools AI ▸ AI. When the AI pane appears, select the Document QA tab.

- In the textbox, type your rewrite request, then click the send button.
Prompt example:
“Rewrite in a formal, objective, precise tone. Keep facts accurate, preserve formatting, and keep a similar length.” - The AI generates content in the style you specify. After previewing the result, you can choose to copy it or insert it directly at the current cursor position in the document.

- Save the document.
Prompt Pack
- Formal: “Rewrite in a formal, objective, precise tone; preserve formatting; keep similar length; maintain terminology consistency.”
- Simplified: “Summarize to essentials (outcomes, steps, deadlines); short sentences; bullet points if helpful; preserve list/bold formatting.”
- External: “Produce an external-safe version; remove internal/sensitive data (pricing, discount tiers, vendor codes, personal names/emails, internal links); keep client-facing value; preserve formatting.”
This is essentially a style-based rewrite. The original text formatting will be removed.
If you want to polish your text while keeping the original formatting intact, use Kutools AI – Keep Format Polish. This feature refines your current document or selected paragraphs in a chosen style while preserving the original formatting. For detailed instructions, please refer to: Word: Keep Formatting While You Polish the Content.
Beyond multi-version output, the AI panel also supports:
- Polish and Keep Format Polish — refine tone and clarity without breaking existing styles
- Sensitive-info redaction via prompts (for example, replace content with [hidden])
- Drafting from bullets or briefs, translating entire sections, and performing context-aware rewriting
