Hello guys, hope you are good.
I was wondering if you guys, because you are way more tech savvy than me, know anything about any good grammar checkers that can be installed on Microsoft Word?
Basically, I've finished a bunch of novels, but I was just wanting to use a program that could maybe catch those typos and wrongly used commas, you know?
I did used to use Grammarly, even the premium version, but the new version of Grammarly is so bad. It used to be that it was an extension, an add in of Word, and you could use it like a search bar when going through your work for suggestions from Grammarly, but I checked out the new version and they've updated it and its so bad. Basically, it doesn't track certain things, and when you move the page, you have to wait for all the Grammarly search results to reload again; its so, so bad.
Anyway, I won't get into all the reasons as to why its just so bad, but I was wondering if you knew of any other sites like Grammarly that are good for checking spelling, punctuation and the like on Word?
Thanks a lot. These are pretty good grammar checkers.

Thanks a lot. Jusr heard back from my friend,edwardjohn. Hope this will help you.
Sure thing. The two that I use are Prowritingaid and Autocrit. Both have free plans as well as higher tier ones with more features. I was able to get in on them when they had special lifetime deals going. Autocrit is going to be offering a lifetime deal coming soon but I don't have the exact date. He could always try out the free version now to see if it's something he likes and maybe that way he'd be on their radar to offer him the lifetime price. I just noticed when I went to Prowritingaid's site to get the URL, that they are offering a lifetime deal now.
If there's anything else I can do to help, let me know.

Thanks spideyman and osnafrank
Your posts have been a lot of help! I will definitely be checking out these sites as alternatives to Grammarly. I love how Grammarly's free version is better than its premium version. Anyway, thanks a lot!
I think the main issue with these tech companies is that they're always innovating, despite the site being really good as is. I know they probably have to update with different systems and all, but alas. Anyway, thanks!

So, got my computer, my old computer, back from the repair shop. Thankfully, I won't have to use my current, broken computer anymore. The majority of the keys on my most recent keyboard don't work, so its good to not have to use a plug in keyboard with this recently repaired old computer.
I'll have to take my most recent computer in, but thankfully its on a seperate contract so there won't be any questions about me taking in multiple computers getting repaired.

But it seems a bit slow. Loading the Inbox folder is taking a pretty long time.
Checked the Task Manager, and outlooks consumes almost 380 MB of RAM.
