Does anyone out there know of either a PD or professionally procduced program that will check for Grammar in a Word Processed document. Thanks. Allan Mintz

Thanks. > > Allan Mintz You could try Grammatik (I'm not sure what version they are upto...) Grammatik III is the latest I've seen tho'... it checks for things like passive voice, incomplete sentences, improper article usage, s-v agreement, etc. and it "directly supports 37 major word processors" (blurb from the box) including WordPerfect, Wordstar, & Word. It also got an Editor's Choice from PC magazine. Oh, it's by: Reference Software, Inc. 330 Townsend Street, Suite 123 San Francisco, CA 94107 Another one you could look for is called RightWriter. I'd probably go with the Grammatik tho. I haven't really used Grammatik III (this is a friend's), but I've used both RightWriter & Grammatik II before, and thought Grammatik II was more useful. Hope this helps some... Dan dlu@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu dlupg@uiamvs.bitnet
