[Dba-office] Word style checker

Hi Tina,
I actually was looking there and went back after reading your post. There is
no 'style' of writing as I remembered it, just things to check. So if I
write a technical document and want to relay it to my customers in a more
colloquial manner, there is nothing I can see that will flag something as
overly technical. Or am I missing something?

Hi John,

For Word 2013, File > Options > Proofing > Writing Style > Settings.
It's quite a different presentation from the style checker we saw years ago,
but, it may still be useful.
