Hello Colleagues,
I hope this is not too trivial a question for the list!
I was wondering if any of you are experts with Microsoft Word and its
grammar functions. The program is driving me crazy and I cannot find
the answer to my dilemma.
When I type “He walks with a transfemoral prosthesis” as part of a
sentence, the grammar function of Microsoft Word underlines the words
“a transfemoral” and says that I should replace this with simply
“transfemoral”.
Obviously, the computer doesn’t seem to understand that “prosthesis” is
the noun and that “transfemoral” is modifying it. Or perhaps it thinks
that “prosthesis” is a plural noun and is mistaking it for
“prostheses”. But how do I get Microsoft Word to understand this and to
stop telling me that I am making grammatical mistakes? It’s not the end
of the world, but I write a lot of letters and it’s quite annoying.
Thanks in advance for your help! If I receive any helpful responses,
I’ll be sure to post them in a summary to the list.
