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.
