The session this Thurday evening, was devoted to some of the advance features of Microsoft WORD. Most of us use WORD for letters, reports and minutes for example, some only a couple of pages and some very large documents.
RED: origional with mistakes in grammar and spelling:
Firstly, we went through creating a new document using the STYLES which are on the top Menu Ribbon, this is somethings which have always been there but not used to their full extent if at all. However, once the concept is understood and how they work, it is a great feature, it is also essential if you want to add in a contents page or an index page to your document using the auto features.
As an engineer, my writing style is based on writing technical documents and perhaps my grammar is sometimes not up to scratch. However, the application called 'Grammerly' is excelent at spotting errors both in spelling and grammar and it allows you to either select an alternative or reject the suggestion. This does not in anyway detracty from the WORD spell and grammer checker which is built in, but Grammarly can be used across virtually any text based platform.
BLUE: Corrected using Grammerly

The BLUE script is certainly upgraded from the RED using the free version, however, Grammerly suggests even more improvements by paying for the premium package, which is £10 per month. Is it worth it, its up to the individual, as they say "You pays ya money and take ya choice"
I personally have used Grammerly and did not realise how many mistakes I can make, even having proof read it a number of times!
