Grammar checker

Joe

How do I set up grammar checker in Word2007 for scholarly documents? Previous
versions of Word (and WordPerfect) have greater functionality and scalabilty
than what is found in Word2007. We need to use it for producing a doctoral
dissertation.

If you click the Settings... button in Office Button | Word Options |
Proofing, you can select specific types of grammar errors you want marked.

The grammar checker should only ever be used as a rough guide to grammar.
Computerised grammar checkers can never adapt to the complexity of the
language. Treat with caution!

Thanks Suzanne; however, I cannot find the scalability previously found in Works 7.0. I bought Word 2007 at CompUSA. Does MS make refunds?

I haven't done a line by line comparison, but the grammar settings seem to be
the same as the are in W2003. Contextual spelling is new, though, and helpful.


To find out about refunds, you need to contact someone from Microsoft.
