Thanks for all the good information.

I highly recommend Grammarly.com.

While I've been working from home and writing for the last 13+ years, I've built my online personality around my southern accent. That isn't always such a good idea - especially when it comes time to apply for new jobs, or put on the uber professional hat.

A couple of weeks ago I went looking for just this sort of thing and found Grammarly. Loved it!

I've actually been granted permission to give away several memberships if anyone would like to try it out.

If you're interested in giving it a try, reviewing the product and maybe conducting your own giveaway, give me a shout via PM here or by contacting me through my website.

I tried grammarly for a while but it didn't work out so well for me. I always ended up confused.However, you could check it out.

I am wasting my first day of the trial because I got all signed in and I cant find WHERE TO ENTER a portion of text to have it checked. My paper is due Mon. 12th by midnight.

We Thank You !!!

With OpenOffice, I use After the Deadline, it's an OO-friendly add-on, as its grammar checker is far superior to the one that comes with OO in my opinion.

Im not seeing the free version of OpenOffice! Do you have a link to the free version?

I have not come across any good free ones...

This one is not free, but very helpful. It costs $20 on a month to month basis and less than that on a longer subscription. It checks for everything.

Instant Grammar Check - Online Proofreading | Grammarly

When I use the Grammarly tool, I use the desktop download that is actually a plugin for Word.

When I create a Word document, the Grammarly icon is in the upper right corner of my page. I have the option of various writing styles from professional to casual.

Grammarly runs through a grammar check first - then it offers suggestions for enhancements that include changing up some wording to more colorful options.

Once I have the wording exactly as I want it, I then run it through the plagiarism check.

I do agree with the person who commented on it being confusing, the online version is. However, the version that automatically plugs into Word is easy-peasy

I've not written a single thing without using it in over 6 months.

Good luck
