No there is no Dutch grammar. I have Office since version '98 and it was
never there. It's easy to see, when you look in Microsoft Office 2004 -
Shared Applications - Proofing Tools. There is a English Grammar and a
English Grammar Dictionary. But no Dutch equivalent for this. In the old
days WordPerfect had none. MS Word hasn't either.
When you open the Dutch Spelling Dictionary with BBedit or Teksteditor
you will see the company who created the dictionary:
Speller 1.2 Copyright 1997 Polderland Language & Speech Technology.
Polderland is a Dutch Company. Maybe you can ask them.

Yep, my old answer was totally wrong. Mickey Stevens corrected me on the
other thread I referenced.

So you don't know of any third-party Dutch grammar plug-ins either? You can
request Dutch grammar tools using this link, though the MacBU should also
see it here. <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/feedback/suggestion.asp>

Google gave me hope that NisusWriter had it, but it looks like only
spelling. It looks like Polderland makes a lot of products--they may indeed
be worth contacting.
