Re: additional spell and grammar checkers for Word 7?

[Harry Anthony <harryrayban -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hi Becca,

Please try Acrolinx. It is a word plug-in. It not only checks spelling and grammar but also verifies the accuracy of each sentence. It also provides analytic result with a count of spelling mistakes, grammar issues, lengthy sentences, and passive voice instances to be fixed.

Hope this helps,
Harry
