Description

Editor provides advanced writing assistance with grammar, spelling, and style suggestions across the web (1) so you can confidently write clear, concise posts and emails. 

Write like a pro with intelligent writing assistance
Nail the basics with free grammar, spelling, and punctuation proofing. Go beyond basics with advanced style-checking for issues like clarity, conciseness, formality, vocabulary, and much more with premium (requires a Microsoft 365 subscription).

Personalize it to your needs
With Editor, you can add custom words (like names you frequently use or acronyms) to create your personal dictionary; look for “Add to dictionary” when Editor makes a spelling suggestion. Your personal dictionary roams with you wherever you use Editor – across the web with browser extension and built-in to your Microsoft 365 apps.  We’ve also made it easy to skip all occurrences of a spelling correction by selecting Ignore All, or skip unwanted grammar suggestions by selecting Ignore. Editor will now automatically correct misspelled words as you type. A new green highlight will show you that a word has been autocorrected. In addition, Settings gives you a way to fine-tune your preferences for writing suggestions and personalize it even further.

Write anywhere
Get writing assistance on sites like LinkedIn, Gmail, Facebook, and other favorites with this browser extension. If you want Editor’s assistance in the Office apps where you write the most, open Word or Outlook on the web and get suggestions to improve your documents and email.

Editor still has the annoying popup words that cover right you need to type and are "sticky" meaning they won't go away. You have to take time to click all over the place to get them to go away. Editor in Edge constantly crashes. I gather this last crash and wont repair was to force an update. With this update the tools that MC365 Family has always received as part of the subscription have now been removed and you must pay extra to use Editor. This is so much of a non-starter that it is a finisher. I am removing Editor and will no longer use By and large, the grammar checker is spot-on. However, that have been some major grammatical problems. I am downgrading my revi because aw time has gone by, the box that pops up inline sith suggestions has begun to get in the way and will not go away or let you do anything with the information immediately below it until you figure out how to get the box to go away. This has become very frustrating and I'm about to the point of uninstalling it.
