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
