This falls into the "You can't please all the people..." category. At one
time Word did have several "levels" of grammar rules [in fact, Mac Word
still does] but none of them did what "everyone" wanted so MS apparently
standardized on the one set. Within it you can make some adjustment -
depending on which version of Word you use:

In 2007 go into Word Options Proofing, choose Grammar & Style, then pick
the checkboxes you want active.

In prior versions you'll find similar settings in Tools Options Spelling &
Grammar.

I agree and thanks for the personal attack. I should have been more specific
and stated that "my subordiates need a formal, business level grammar
checker." No need to reply about hiring employees with better educations.

The grammar checker is inevitably a poor substitute for an education. If you
paid enough attention in school to your English grammar lessons, you
wouldn't need the grammar checker and you would be able to recognise its
limitations. If you hadn't paid sufficient attention, then it will only
serve to confuse. At best computerised grammer checking is only be a rough
guide to English usage.

The grammar checker in Word is horrible. There must be a way to
specify the level or type of checking I want. I want formal,
business level grammar checking.
"Please confirm that you want your returns mail." should not be an
acceptable sentence.
