Question:
Using Word 2003, I want to change 'staff' so that it will accept plural form
of verbs, ie the school staff were in agreement. Word only accepts 'staff' as
a singular noun, which is silly in the material I am writing. How do I change
the grammar rule?
Answer:
In Tools | Options, Spelling and Grammar, if you click on Settings, there
are several things you can control, though I doubt this is one of them. May
be worth checking, though.
Otherwise, I think you will just have to ignore Word's limited understanding
of English grammar.
