check articles like "a" and "the" with office 2007 spell andgramm
Even linguistic scholars who specialize in the study of English have
not been able to fully describe the use of the articles in English, so asking a computer program to get it right every time is really asking too much.

No, "What command initializes ...?" is correct.
The other form would be used in "What command does the keyboard shortcut xxx initialize?" Can you give an example of what you think is an incorrect article use that Word did not mark?

No peter some of them are wrong and are simple to discover, see the example
below What command does the keyboard shortcut initializes? its wrong however, the office 2007 grammar and spell checker found problems more difficult than these. So, I think these simple mistakes, maybe because of problem settings or bugs. I selected all settings and check it, its working fine for difficult problems. best regards thaar "Peter T.

There are undoubtedly limitations in the grammar checker. As Peter has
already said, the complexity (and changing nature) of language is such that perfect grammar checking by computer is an impossible aim. Furthermore you need an excellent grounding in the grammatical construction of the language to be able to interpret whether the grammar checker suggestions are valid. These are not problem settings nor bugs, but limitations in the ability of the grammar checker. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "thaar" wrote in message ...

No peter some of them are wrong and are simple to discover, see the example below What command does the keyboard shortcut *initializes? its wrong That is clearly a mistake. Your last two examples were not mistakes. however, the office 2007 grammar and spell checker found problems more difficult than these. So, I think these simple mistakes, maybe because of problem settings or bugs. I selected all settings and check it, its working fine for difficult problems. best regards thaar "Peter T.

There should be no problems with spell checking, except if a word is misspelled but the mistake is a different real word.
