Hi All,

I just bought Correct Grammar 3.0.3 and want to use it with Word 5.1a.   
Problem is CG can not open Word 5.0 and later documents directly.  You  
have to copy the contents of your Word document to the clipboard and then  
check the clipboard from CG.  This would be allright, except that I have a  
fairly long document with many equations in it.  If I copy to the  
clipboard from Word, it copies in RTF format which is what I want so that  
when I paste back the formatting is retained.  However, RTF copy easily  
exceeds 32K characters for even small sections of my entire document, and  
CG has a limitation of only reading 32K characters from the clipboard  
(sucks! especially if you are forced to use the "clipboard method").  This  
means that I have to cut-check-paste-cut-check-paste... several times to  
get my entire document grammar checked.  CG does an excellent job while  
checking, but this is not a very good way of doing things.  I'm thinking  
of returning CG unless they plan on better support for Word 5.0 and beyond  
in the real near future (30 days).  Any opinions/suggestions would be  
appreciated.  BTW, I plan on contacting their tech support (long distance,  
but otherwise free) today.

Thanks! Krash
