Hi.

I recently switched from windows to mac and I have some questions pertaining here to.

1. My mac OS X has built in spell and grammar proofing, and I am satisfied with the spelling part, but I feel the grammar part is lacking compared to the one I am used to from word in windows. At the moment I am using mac word '08, and the grammar part is not included in the mac version. The issue is further complicated by the fact that I am Danish, and would therefore need the proofing to also include Danish. Is there anyway to improve the proofing on my mac, as I am going to be doing quite a lot of writing? My old word program was able to detect when I conjugated verbs incorrectly and when I was missing a comma. I miss this, quite a bit.

2. I am also having troubles finding a substitute for onenote, I've tried Curio but it seems to elaborate to suit my simple note needs. I have also tried using the notebook view in word, but it just isn't as good as onenote. If I paste other documents in the notebook view, it alters the layout, and deletes the bullets. It also isn't as good in terms of the labeling in Onenote, which gives a great overview on my notes. Is there an alternative?

You didn't need that comma. Just send stuff to me, and I'll proof it for you. ;)

I don't know the answers to your Mac questions. Sorry.

Mac Office 2008 includes grammar checking along with spell checking. Both are proofed at the same time if you desire. I know nothing about what would be included in the Danish version but I can assure you that the grammar checker is included with the English version.
