Detailed Summary:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THELMA THISTLEBLOSSOM is an easy, yet powerful grammar, style,
spelling and punctuation checker to create strong, readable, and
concise documents. You may use a built-in editor to change the
text.
THELMA THISTLEBLOSSOM uses sophisticated parsing and a grammar-based
dictionary to check each sentence in your document.
When THELMA THISTLEBLOSSOM finds a problem, it displays the
sentence in context, highlights the problem, explains what is
wrong, and gives suggestions. You may use several convenient
editing tools to correct the problem.
When it finds a grammatical error (such as a split infinitive), a
stylistic error (such as a commonly misused phrase), or a
punctuation error (such as a missing comma), THELMA THISTLEBLOSSOM
suggests alternatives. THELMA THISTLEBLOSSOM permits you to insert
your choice without losing any WordPerfect formatting codes.
You may use a WordPerfect-like editor to fix more complex errors.
THELMA THISTLEBLOSSOM preserves all WordPerfect formatting codes
during your editing.
