[stylist] punctuation

[Brad Dunse]

One thing that is helpful is if you copy and paste text from one doc 
to another that has different fonts and etc. it wil let you 
know.  Here's a description from the Settings Manager's description

Use the options in this group to configure Text Analyzer, which is a 
tool that can identify errors in a document by using a spoken message 
or WAV file alert. Items such as unmatched parentheses, unintentional 
format changes, extra whitespace, and stray or unspaced punctuation 
are considered errors. These can often be missed when using speech 
alone. This feature is off by default.
Use the radio buttons in this group to determine the type of alert 
used to indicate errors when editing or proofreading a document by 
line, sentence, paragraph, or Say All command. Select Indicate with 
Sound to play a WAV file when a formatting error is detected. Select 
Speak Count to announce the number of inconsistencies in the current 
text. Select Describe Inconsistencies for a description of the error. 
The default setting is off.
