Fun with Word
I’m currently using Microsoft Word 2007 to write a take-home exam. So far the spell-check and grammar check haven’t given my much trouble, but if stumbled upon something odd. The problem involves the generally useless Sentence Fragment checker.
According to Word 2007, this is a sentence fragment:
“The credit card companies and banks that Company X deals with have a significant amount of power over the market, as they are free to set interchange and other fees at whatever levels they like.”
This, however, is not a sentence fragment (change in bold):
“The credit card companies and card issuers that Company X deals with have a significant amount of power over the market, as they are free to set interchange and other fees at whatever levels they like.”
Weird. For reference, I’ve since re-edited the sentence to be less awkward and gangly. Also, the company’s not actually called Company X; since it’s a take-home final I don’t want to disclose the company’s name for fear of tipping off those who haven’t picked up the exam yet.
