Punctuation Alert (WP Application Only)
Unlike Spell Check, this function does not look at words, but at the character
sequences between them. It checks, for example, redundant punctuation, the number
of spaces before and after punctuation marks, whether parentheses are balanced,
and even whether a new sentence starts with a capital letter. It highlights the suspect
sequence, states the rule being violated, and, in most cases, automatically suggests
a replacement
that you
can insert
by
selecting REPLACE.
You should be aware, however, that the Punctuation Alert will only review certain
aspects of punctuation. Please review the “Punctuation Rules” on page 130 for a
better understanding of the items the Punctuation Alert is capable of checking.
The Punctuation Alert function is available only when the Punctuation Alert
diskette that comes with
your
word
processor
is inserted, when you are
working with the WP application and when you select the ALL option. This
function can be used together with Spell Check—or separately
