Formal mode, no contractions, useful for cover letters.
Contractions like 'can't' are great for writing most of the time. They are
problematic in very formal writing, like cover letters or academic papers. It would be great if there was a 'formal mode' for Word which addressed this. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

In Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar, under the Grammar Options, you can
check the Style box for "Contractions" to have Word flag these. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "bkustra" wrote in message ...
