Are there no courtesy requirements for becoming an MVP? ;-)

I suspect lawrencae is getting an error message (or at least no confirmation
message) from the Web interface; if s/he's on dial-up, it could be that a slow connection is part of the problem. -- Suzanne S.

Hi,
I don't know if there is another one out there, but just in case you do ever trust Word's grammar checker, do yourself a favor and don't rely on it. Rely on a book instead. The computer is wrong almost all the time. Jezzica85 "lawrencae" wrote: Is there a better a better, more customizable grammar and syntax checker available for Word than MS offers? |

It is rather to do with connection provided by my ISP. You might want to
enroll in Suzanne S. Barnhill's MVP, internet class, customer care, and humane understanding and tactfulness classes. Suzanne is an MVP colleague of yours, assuming you actually are an MVP. Obviously if you are one, she is one with higher standards. She had the tact to offer a decent retort to my question that shed light on the problem I have been having with repeated displays of my questions. Take care Graham.

Good on you Greg and thanks for coming to my defense and the defense of all
of us. See below my reply to Graham Mayor and Robert: It is rather to do with connection provided by my ISP. You might want to enroll in Suzanne S.

Thank you Suzanne. Sorry for all the redundant posts. I think you probably
are on the right track about my problem connection. It is a DSL connection but it is not very good one. I am presently in the Philippines where quality is certainly not a high priority consideration. Stiil I must take some blame due to my lack of experience with the system provided here. I will know in the future that even though I get an error message saying something to the effect that the server cannot be found, I must wait to see if the question I am trying to upload has been receive or not before I hit the back button and do it all over again. Thank you for coming to the defense of an unknown customer. See my response below to your MPV colleauges to the testy responses I got from some of your MVP colleagues: "It has rather to do with the connection provided by my ISP.

Right. Their checker does a fair job, but if you know grammar at all, you can
see where it may go wrong in a particular case. You are certainly right in saying you must not rely on their checker, but on knowledge gleaned from good books and good teachers. My best to you and yours. Lawrence S.

I think I may know what you are encountering. Is it along the lines of
"service temporarily unavailable" or "Your Passport session has expired. You must return to the Discussion Group home page and sign in again before you can post"? If that's the case then the error you are encountering is for your notification request, not your post. Your post will still go through but you may not receive a notification that your post has an answer. If that's the case then you can subcribe to a post after it's been posted. It's been awhile since we've seen this, (4 years maybe??) and I thought it was fixed. Although I think it was due to a time out issue so dial-up might explain it. As an alternative to the web interface, if you are able to use Outlook Express to access the newsgroups you may prefer it over the web interface you are using. It's MUCH faster! (I think the web interface is slow even with high speed Internet access. g) If you want to try it then click this link and this group will be added for you: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....docmanagement Then to find replies to your messages, use View/Current View/Show replies to my messages. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email cannot be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Coauthor of Word 2007 Inside Out: http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/boo...x#AboutTheBook Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "lawrencae" wrote in message ...

That message from Gerg Maxey was in fact a reference to his having
been called for rudeness to a poster last week. On Feb 17, 11:40*pm, lawrencae wrote: Good on you Greg and thanks for coming to my defense and the defense of all of us.

It was in fact a verbatim quotation of my reproof of Greg Maxey.
