Dear Mr. T:

You asked;

 Can you inform me of any newer version of ‘Grammar Slammer Deluxe with Spelling and Grammar Checkers’ the current version being shown as installed is 4.2.0. If there are newer versions which have been released, can you tell me the latest version number please?

That is still the current version.

Will our software license allow us to upgrade to newest version (if applicable). If this is not the case is the version stated above still supported by your self’s i.e. technical support and minor updates and will this support continue after 1 October 2014.

You will be able to upgrade to any newer Windows version. We are still in business and plan to be giving support as needed through October 2014 and beyond.

Furthermore is it possible to confirm that the version(s) stated above and any newer versions are compatible with Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.

The current version is compatible with Windows 7, both 32 and 64 bit versions.

Thanks for replying. I am the only user of Grammar Slammer. I take my netbook when I travel and would like to use the program outside of my home. So, how do I get a copy on my netbook? Thanks.

If you still have the installation file you received from us or from Share-It, simply install the program on your netbook. If you do not have the installation file any more, you can also simply copy the entire contents of the Grammar Slammer folder into a new folder on your netbook. All the files you need are in that folder. Any registry information would be copied to the registry the first time you run the program.

If you are still having problems, we can send you another installation file. We can e-mail one to you if your e-mail takes attachments; or you can purchase a backup CD from our online order page for $5.00 US.

I am using your trial program to see if it is helpful to me, and every time I try to grammar check anything using your program I get this message box. There is an exclamation in the top left corner along with this message.

“This selection contained 14 words and 1 sentences with 14 words per sentence, 3.71 characters per word, and 1.21 syllables/word. The grade level readability is approximately 8.45.”

Then there is the option to press “ok” or “cancel.”

Of course, this references changes due to size of document or sentence, but I get it every time and it is not checking the text. What is the problem?

There is no problem. That appears at the end of every completed grammar check. If you get that without any problems being flagged, it means that the checker found no errors.

I have tried “ok” and “cancel” and taken out all commas, etc. to see if it is checking and it is not. What am I doing wrong? I really need a program to check not just spelling, but comma usage, etc. and I am hoping your program will be of some assistance so I may purchase the program.

Please read the file “What to expect from grammar programs” if you have not done so. In many cases commas are not checked because they change the meaning. Any grammar checker is only going to be able to note basic punctuation problems. Otherwise, it would simply be annoying, asking questions for virtually every punctuation mark.

Grammar is intimately connected with meaning, so there is nothing automatic about grammar checking. That is why we have included our detailed Help file with grammar rules. If you have a question about the comma usage, use the Help file–it is very simple to use. You could even bookmark the “Comma Contents” page.

When I write for my blog I would like to use the handy spelling and grammar window provided. I can check errors quickly and then copy and paste on the blog. My question then, is when I copy and paste does your code for the spelling and grammar also paste, as this would cause me some problems?

I hope I explained this correctly. Thanks.

I think I understand your question. The only thing that copies and pastes is the corrected copy. It uses simple text without any markups. There is an option so you can check HTML code and it skips over anything in HTML brackets: .

Try downloading a trial copy of Grammar Slammer with Checkers from our download page at www.englishplus.com/pub/ and see how it works for you.

I just discovered you, and I’m very impressed. I work as a copywriter / editor at a small marketing firm in Central Nebraska. Not a day goes by when I don’t need a “small” grammar question answered fast and free. I especially appreciate the detailed explanations behind certain “rules” and your concise examples of errors and corrections.

Nice work!

Thank you. Our Grammar Slammer or Grammar Slammer Deluxe for Non-Windows is
compatible with Macs. It requires Adobe Reader, but otherwise is identical.

We do not have spelling or grammar checker for Macs. A sample of the Grammar
Slammer for Non-Windows can be downloaded from our download page at
