Does Spell/Grammar Check detect run-on sentences, etc?

[Toody]

Does anyone know if Word detects run-on sentences? In "We look forward to
exciting April events as we return from Easter vacation. First, our eighth
graders and parents make their long-..." the period just before "First" was
originally a comma, not a period. (A person detected that error -- and not
Word.)

I looked at "Spelling and Grammar" under Tools and Options, which indicated
that it does detect such sentences, but mine didn't.

I tried duplicating the above sentences and new ones on a fresh Word screen,
but got the same results.

I have Windows XP, service pack 2 and Word 2003. My computer's memory is 512
MB of RAM.

Any help would be appreciated.

You most likely won't get an answer to this non-VBA (programming) question in
this group. But you might get a response in word.spelling.grammar.

Cindy,

I tried the address that you gave me:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.word.spelling.grammar, but was
told that I don't have access to the site.
