Is there anywhere online to check the grammar?

Customized grammar check and printout?!

  • Microsoft word help! Midterm paper due in the morning and I can't figure out the teacher's grammar check requirements! I've just polished off a nice big paper for my Lit midterm. The teacher is tough, and has a number of requirements that I'm not used to having to do. I've managed to figure out all but one. Directly from the assignment: "For all written assignments, conduct a customized grammar check and attach the printout of it, including the grade level readability. This is not an option, it is a requirement and the assignment will not be assessed without it." Now, I've set the spelling and grammar to her specifications already. I can run a spelling and grammar check and have it give a little pop up with the readability statistics and such, however I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this information to print! Am I missing a menu option somewhere? I realize this is desperate, but I have to hand this thing in tomorrow. If any word gurus have advice please help!

  • Answer:

    You can't copy the text from the popup directly. You can take a screeshot of the popup by pressing Alt-Printscreen, which copies an image of it to the clipboard. You can then paste that into a blank page in Word so you can print it out.

Oh of course. For some reason I was thinking that there was a mystical "print readability statistics" option that I wasn't finding. Your suggestion works perfectly zsazsa, you're a life saver! Thanks so much!

This is a Lit midterm, and your professor is testing your ability to copy a screen capture and print it? Ah, whither academe?

Don't get me started, please. I've also had to supply actual photocopies of all of the works cited in the paper. I've never seen such requirements...

Usually in Windows you can press Ctrl-C when a dialog is on the screen and it will copy the text of it into the clipboard.

...aaaand of course I just tried it and it does not work in Word. So never mind. I guess I should have said "Standard pop-up dialogs".
