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.
