Hi,

Can some kind soul please recommend a good grammer checker to me?
Preferrably it will work with Word Perfect for Windows...

Thanks a lot!

Cheers
  Stephen

Nothing personal to Stephen, but where do these people come from.?

Whilst I haven't taken a formal count, I'd put a very large sum of money
on this:

	More people asking for -grammar- checkers on Usenet ask for
	"grammer" (or "gramar") checkers than anything else.

Grammatik V for windows works well with Wordperfect (5.1 and win) files and Word for Windows.  The program catches a lot of error both in grammar and spelling.
It can also run readability tests ad the like to determine the reading level 
etc.  The program is comparable to Write writer and some other checkers,
but from what I gather Grammatik is considered the best program at the
moment (new versions are always being released/on the way).

It requires 2mb ram.

Hope this helps...
