Most people know that Word will check and fix your grammar for you. For example, it can check for sentence fragments, misused words, verb phrases, punctuation and more. However, this may not always be what we want – and some folks find this feature downright annoying. Luckily, Word allows you to pick and choose which grammar and/or style rules to check for.
To Modify Grammar Settings:
- Click the Microsoft Office button.
- Click the Word Options button.
- In the left pane, click Proofing.
- If you wish Word to stop checking grammar and/or spelling, uncheck the appropriate boxes in the “When correcting spelling and grammar in Word” area.
- Click the drop-down list in the “When correcting spelling and grammar in Word” area and choose to have Word check either Grammar Only or Grammar and Style.
- To specify which grammar rules Word is to check for, click the Settings button under the “When correcting spelling and grammar in Word” area.
- In the Grammar Settings dialog box, uncheck any of the checkboxes next to the rules for which you do not want Word to check.
- Click OK to close the Grammar Settings dialog box.
- Click OK to close the Word Options dialog box.
