In your MS Word document click on Tools, click Options. Click on Spelling & Grammar. In the bottom of the prompt screen -"Writing Style" change "Formal" to "Standard".
Go back to your document and do the Spelling/Grammar check again.
If it doesn't work, go back to the prompt screen again and click on Settings. Choose Standard on Writing Style bar, click Reset All, click OK. Now go back to document and recheck G/S again.
Thanks but unfortunatly no luck,
I don't have the options of formal and standard, I have grammar and gramar and style, which I tried changing but to no effect.
So I tried the settings, but I have no writing style bar.
I even tried changing my settings to US spellings and grammar, but I don't get the options then either.
Word is out to get me:(
Thanks anyway.
Pardon me Whisper... 'should have ask you first what MS Word version you're using. The fix I suggested was for MS Word 97.
I'm not on often so I might miss your reply. Anyhow, try this Microsoft support forum if I don't get back to you any quicker...

I know this is OT, but it is more UK OT than US OT!
I am currently (trying) to write my essays, and having a lot of arguments with microsoft word, over the Grammar settings. It is turned on to UK spellings and grammar, not the US, but I am having a lot of trouble with it refusing to accept sentences, saying they are fragments.
Does anyone else experience this?
Here is an example of one such 'fragment':
Point 3.8 of the NMC code of professional conduct states that when treatment is required to save a life it can be done without consent (NMC 2002).
Is this the computer or me that is the wrong?
