SOLVED: Word 2016 Grammar Checker Doing Too Much

If you are finding that the ‘grammar check’ in Office products (Word, Outlook…) are pointing out more than you would like, you can adjust it.  The latest version of Office 2016 offers two Grammar settings:

1. GRAMMER
   • Typical grammar checking
2. GRAMMER AND MORE
   • Typical grammar + things like “Wordiness” and “Vague Adjectives”

You can easily toggle between the two options or even set your own grammar checking details by:

1. Start WORD
2. Click FILE > OPTIONS > PROOFING (menu)
3. Set WRITING STYLE to GRAMMER or GRAMMER & MORE or click the SETTINGS button and customize to your hearts content
