Including a large number of in-line pictures in your documents slows down Word's performance. You can
improve performance by replacing actual images with picture placeholders.
You can create standard numbered and bulleted lists by typing in a way that triggers the AutoFormat
feature to apply list formatting.
Microsoft Word continuously improves and polishes checks for grammar rules and orthography.
There are many additional add-ons, utilities, and applications for checking style, spelling, etc., that can
improve your writing, but Word itself provides enough hints for writing correct texts. However, for
technical writers it becomes annoying at times. If you choose to use the grammar checker rather than turn it
off completely, you can tell it which grammar items you want to check and which you don't.
