Customize Grammar and Writing Style in Word
If you have specific rules of grammar and style
that you want to apply to every Word document—for example,
only one space between sentences or a comma before the last
item in a list—you can customize Word so it automatically
checks these rules for you.
To
customize grammar and writing style:
1.
On the
Tools menu, click Options, and then click the
Spelling & Grammar tab.
2.
Click
Settings.
3.
In the
Writing style box, select whether you want to
customize settings for grammar and style, or grammar only.
4.
In the
Grammar and style options box, do one or both of
following:
§
Under
Require, select the options you want for serial
commas, punctuation within quotation marks, and number of
spaces between sentences.
§
Under
Grammar and Style, select or clear the check
boxes next to the rules you want the grammar checker to
check or ignore.
Editor's Note:
To restore the original rules of the selected grammar and
writing style, click Reset All.
