Troubleshoot grammar, in Word XP

[Helen]

It seems when using Office XP and using grammar check that even though
sentence may not be grammatically correct the green wavy line
underneath do not appear - i seem to remember that this happened quit
a lot in previous versions. Does anyone know the maximum numbers o
words checked for grammar in the most recent versions of office

There are several factors that have to be set properly to get grammar
underlines:

- In Tools > Options > Spelling & Grammar, check the box for "Check
grammar as you type" and clear the box for "Hide grammatical errors in
this document".

- Make sure the style applied to the text doesn't have the "Do not
check spelling or grammar" attribute.

- Make sure the "Do not check spelling or grammar" attribute hasn't
been applied manually to the text through the Language > Set Language
dialog.

None of this has to do with numbers of words -- as far as I'm aware,
there is no maximum. There is, however, a maximum sentence complexity
beyond which the grammar checker will display an error.
