shouldn't Grammar Checking in Word 2003 catch this word transposition
Hi,
I was hoping that Word 2003's Grammar Checking would catch this error: You will a find hierarchical menu. and propose correcting it to: You will find a hierarchical menu. But it did not. Any suggestions? And I seem to recall that Word used to let me set the type of document being written or checked (scientific, informal, etc.). but I can't find that setting. Any suggestions? thanks, -john |

That's really a pretty subtle syntactic flaw, recognisable only by reference
to the semantics. "Will" can be a transitive verb, and "find" can be a noun; to a human they are an unlikely combination, but a grammar checker has no notion of meaning, only structure. "in the diamond exploration business you will hear about a loss more often than you will a find..." The settings for the grammar checker are on Tools Options Spelling and Grammar. The choice of document type is no longer provided, I think. "John Gibb" wrote in message ...
