>Subject: Does Span Grammar Checker in Word 2003 work?



I have been helping a Spanish instructor with Word 2003 proofing tools and
am having a couple (hundred) problems.  When I paste known good spanish
into a word doc and mess up some of the grammar (el puerta, Yo son, etc),
the grammar checker does not catch these errors.


Does anyone use the Word 2003 proofing tools for SPanish with a
predicatable degree of success?  Particularly the grammar checker?
Is there a freeware / opensource solution that is better?


Joseph
