In my spelling and grammar check, there used to be 'technical style' and now
there is not in 2003 - how do I get this back?

Thanks!


You can't get it back. Microsoft ditched the separate grammar styles.
Instead, you click the Settings button and select the particular rules
you want to enforce.

The 'technical' style in Word 2000 had all the rules checked except
these:
Passive sentences
Possessives and plurals
Contractions
Gender-specific words
Jargon
Successive nouns
Successive prepositional phrases
Words in split infinitives

The 'Jargon' rule is no longer present; I think it was subsumed in
several of the other rules.
