If I learn one more thing about grammar and spelling I'll. . .well, who knows? As for style, don't mess with it.

Thank you Shelagh. I've seen the demo. Only complaint I have seen is on support. White Smoke is a web based program which I am not to happy about. I like holding programs in my hands. The name SMOKE kind of red flags it.
This company goes out of business, and the program is dead.
Do you know of any others like this one that are not web based?

What I don't understand is how a program can enhance and correct writing style. Wouldn't everyone's style end up being the same?

Begs the question, what is correct writing style?

My understanding is it shows error in a stentence, spell check, etc. I don't know if the program is any good...I don't want to change my style, jut get the grammar right.
