They are not that good. I am terrible at grammar as I hated english and language arts in school. But I found that the grammar checkers were no real help in most cases. Do I miss a grammar checker? No, I haven't thought about one in years. -- Robin Laing --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) What it seems you are forgetting is that Open Office is a different application that rivals MS Office, and for free software that is Proactively updated, i'm sure it can only get better. The one problem with Grammar Checkers is "Native Language", as grammar changes from country to country. i.e. - English and French (and most other European grammar is quite different). I would like to add that 1.9X is a Beta version, and I would like to think that the final release will have a comprehensive 'Grammar Checker' to suit most languages. Dave Mcmahon.
