Here are some steps for how to download Grammarly’s new app and use it on your Word document drafts!

As you work, you can see the total number of suggestions at the very bottom of the Grammarly pane. There are two kinds of suggestions: 'basic issues,' which are available using the free edition of Grammarly, and 'premium issues,' which require upgrading to a paid Grammarly subscription.

Basic issues are mainly limited to grammar, spelling, and punctuation. If you upgrade to the Premium subscription you get additional feedback on readability, vocabulary, and writing style. For details on how to upgrade, click 'Premium issues' at the bottom of the pane.

Grammarly also displays the suggested edits in the Grammarly pane. It arranges these notes so the suggested changes line up horizontally with the error in the email message, so you can see them more or less side-by-side.

To review a suggestion, you can click on an underlined issue in the email message or click the suggestion in the Grammarly pane — these two parts of the window stay in sync and clicking either one has the same effect — either expands the suggestion in the Grammarly pane to show you more information and give you choices:
