We, too, use the Microsoft tools and usually find them sufficient for student needs.  One feature that needs
to be highlighted is that the degree of scrutiny the program runs on a given text can be adjusted.  This is
done by choosing "options" from the "tools" menu, and then by clicking on the "spelling & grammar"
tab-sheet.  The default is usually "rapide, rapida, schnell.." (depending on the language), but can be
changed to "stricte, exhaustiva, tiefenprufung" for a much better analysis of the text.

Amities,

Norval Bard
