Punctuation Alert (WP Application Only) Unlike Spell Checker, this function does not look at words but at the character sequences between them. It checks, for example, redundant punctuation, the number of spaces before and after punctuation marks, whether parentheses are balanced, and even whether a new sentence starts with a capital letter. It highlights the suspected sequence, states the rule violated, and, in most cases, suggests a replacement that you can insert by selecting REPLACE. You should be aware, however, that the Punctuation Alert only reviews certain aspects of punctuation. Please review the Punctuation Rules on page 138 for a better understanding of the items the Punctuation Alert is capable of checking. Punctuation Alert is available only when you insert the Punctuation Alert diskette that comes with your word processor, when you are working with the WP application, and when you select the ALL option. This function can be used together with Spell Checker-or separately. Checking the Punctuation 1. Set PUNCTUATION ALERT to ON at the Grammar Check Set menu.
