WORD grammar check is incorrect in usage of "advise" as a verb.

[Gope]

"Please advise".

This is a correct usage of the word as a verb, but WORD grammar flags it as
wrong.

"His advice was to fix it."

This is a correct usage of the word as a noun and WORD grammar rightly
accepts it.

G'Day Gope,

It's likely that Word is confused because your sentence (phrase ?) contains
neither subject nor object.

An obvious change to include an object would be "Please advise ME",
which Word accepts.

It also accepts the subject form "Will YOU please advise".

I know that the (abrupt, superior and possibly rude) command phrase
"Please advise!" is common usage among the SuperOrdinate of the World,
but I an not at all sure that it is correct.
