I have just acquired Office 97 for PC. I noticed that this is now being
recommended for disabled students.
I have grave reservations about its use for students with Dyslexia as the
Grammar checker is appalling. Not only is it irritating in the extreme, it is
downright wrong 80% of the time!! - even allowing for American English. The
problem is it is coupled with the spell check so you get both at the same time.
You can turn the paper clip off which gives the commentary, but the text is
still highglighted which is disconcerting.
Any views?
