    It would be good if Microsoft could buy out Grammarly instead of stealing their tech.

  4. Eric Schoneker

    I have a MS 365 account and see the Editor button in Word but not finding it in Outlook. Any suggestions?

    Grammarly is more accurate but is slower, but the ms editor is fast but a little slower, earlier I was using both but that was kind of messy, now only using Grammarly, as it also defines works on double text..

    Can you make a video that explains how to add a 3rd person to an email conversation?

    For example:

    A potential client fills out the contact form on my website – that contact form gets sent to my business email.

    Once i receive that and reply to that person and start a conversation with them.

    How can i then add my employee to that email conversation so that my employee can see all the past emails and also join the conversation and reply to both me and the client as well?

    I am mostly asking, how do I add my employee to the thread so that it then goes from a 2 way conversation before into a 3 way conversation?

    Thanks! Any advice on how to simply do this would be helpful.

    I've been using both – they both contradict what I just wrote. It's mindboggling that leaves me speechless – it takes forever to complete a few pages.

    As a long time MS Apps fan, I am almost shameful not knowing this!

    At some point, you're really going to have to launch that cookie company.

    How do you enable Formal Writing? Editor does not show this field for me.

  15. SPMP_TV

    Love your video, keep up the excellent work!

    I tested Editor with a document written by a colleague whose English is a second language. There were many obvious grammar errors that Editor did not highlight. I had selected my preferences in the Settings box before running Editor. I submitted my comments to Microsoft in the attached comment section. I'm surprised Editor wasn't as effective as I hoped.

  17. Fabio Salazar

    I have 365, but I don't see editor. Only grammar and spelling.

  18. Terry Sutherland

    Kevin! This changed my life. I write books, and editors who do this for me are expensive. Doing it manually is tedious. Now I can strike a great balance myself!

    Need to add how to turn on readability stats. I plan to share this with students and the readability info would be helpful. (And to students, do not copy from websites unless your professor gives you permission, in writing)

    Did you know that you can't write 'Mistress' w/o Word telling you that term is problematic because it implied gender-bias?

  21. Tommy Lee

    Thanks you for the tutorial, it helped a lot.

    I have used Grammarly free for ages. But since i got office 365 i can get this premium as a browser extension and since Grammarly is only for English it is amazing to have it both for Dutch and English.
