NOTE: All of the above Grammar checkers do support MacWrite II format. See page 2-21 in the ClarisWorks 1.0 Handbook or page 2-14 in the ClarisWorks 2.0 User's Guide for assistance in saving to MacWrite II format. No grammar checker to date supports ClarisWorks 2.0 files.

Sensible Grammar can check a document on the Macintosh clipboard. You issue a Select All Command (Command-A) followed by a Copy Command (Command-C) to copy the document onto the clipboard. Then you use Sensible Grammar to check the text. Although this saves the format of your document, Sensible Grammar can only suggest changes in the text on the clipboard and cannot make the actual changes. You have to write down the changes and enter them manually after you return to ClarisWorks.
