How do I improve the grammar checker?
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. |

How do I improve the grammar checker?
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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org afisk413 wrote: The grammar checker in Word is horrible.

How do I improve the grammar checker?
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.

How do I improve the grammar checker?
It wasn't a personal attack but a general statement, the whole point of
which was to explain that a grammar checker capable of producing accurate grammar does not exist. It can only ever be a guide. The checker provided by Microsoft is as good a guide as you are likely to get and you have already discovered its limitations. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org afisk413 wrote: I agree and thanks for the personal attack.
