No, but to put it another way, how is Word supposed to *recognize*
adjectives in a document and distinguish them from any other part of
speech?
Gayathri, the English language frequently uses exactly the same word
form for more than one part of speech. As an example, the word 'green'
is an adjective in the sentence "He sat on the green couch" but it's a
noun in the sentence "He turned a delicate shade of green." Pattern
recognition can't handle this ambiguity. Grammar analysis can do it,
although not particularly well. However, Word's grammar checker
doesn't provide any way for a macro or other method to query it for
the parts of a sentence.
