(This means unchecking most of the boxes.) Now when you run a spell check, Word will also check grammar but will highlight only the items you checked. Here’s the most important step: check only a few items you care about. (Note: I hate the green squiggles, so I’ve unchecked “Mark grammar errors as you type.”) There you’ll see what the grammar checker is checking. Then look for “When correcting grammar and spelling in Word.” Check the box for “Check grammar with spelling.” Now set the Writing Style drop-down to Grammar & Style and click on Settings.
To customize it, in Word 2010 go to File > Options > Proofing. Word’s grammar checker does only a few things well, so don’t waste time using the default settings. There’s a better way to use the grammar checker: reject the default settings and customize a handful of your own preferences or areas to improve.
Most of the rest will be things you know but don’t want to change. I agree- if you run the grammar check with the default settings.Ībout half the suggestions it offers will be just plain wrong. I hear muttered words like “useless,” and “stupid.” Do you use Microsoft Word’s grammar checker? I’ve asked hundreds of lawyers at CLE seminars over the years, and the near-unanimous answer is no.
