Grammarly might have some friendly competition. This is great Kevin. It’s exciting to see all the capabilities Microsoft has to offer :)

[SavageGothamChess]

I will never troll Kevin. The intro was so funny. I guess me been a ninth grader I definitely have to the write the KCC's marketing collateral. Great to see that this is the Microsoft Version of Grammarly and the fact that there is a chrome extension is definitely so cool.
Loved the video as always

I've only been using Microsoft Word. Honestly when you said your reviews were like 3rd graders😂😂. But I never knew this. I don't know what to comment here but I'd just like to say this video was so helpful! Did Kevin just say "oof". Oh wow, you're making this a lot more entertaining Kevin. Haha, I still can't forget when your data was "cevin" instead of "Kevin". Now auto-correct is killing me. I'm behaving like a 3rd grader😂😂. Can't get enough of that😅😅😜😜

I've been using both - they both contradict what I just wrote. It's mindboggling that leaves me speechless - it takes forever to complete a few pages.

[WanderingAroundAZ]

Person, you’re killing it with these videos!

[fanseychaeng]

I use Grammarly for the writing suggestions and errors. Loved if all the features are free. Sorry to say that's not the case. Will continue using Grammarly as using it for about 6 months.👍

I had already added Grammarly extension in my Microsoft Word app.

Wow, Kevin!! Your intros just keep getting better and better. And it's nice how you have started adding funny B-Roll! Microsoft editor is not something new but the features and compatibility with Word is new to me. I really appreciate the hard work and efforts you put in to make these tutorials for us. YouTube should promote you way more than you currently are being promoted. Since you put out a video on this, the competition with Grammarly might increase!

Hey Kevin, this was a fantastic video! I just canceled my premium Grammarly subscription as a result. My job pays for the office 365 suite which gives me access to the editor for free! I wouldn't have found out about this without one of your shorts. Thanks for all your tutorials!

This is pretty cool.... I'll be recommending this for our 365

[Ryuzaki]

I've been using Microsoft Word since I was very young and I always enjoyed using the Editor. It makes grammar and spelling corrections a whole lot easier. Thank you, Kevin for reminding me to use this amazing feature once again. Hope you have a great day!

[GargeeSharma]

Very helpful video ! Intro was so funny and definitely such a great tool for every day use.

Editor has saved me on SOOO many Grad School papers. Great Video Kevin

[ricardophdddsmd]

Microsoft editor is way above Grammarly's league.

[simsinacafe]

Wow, I didn't realize it can work like this. I usually depend on Google doc for grammar check.

[ev-yt]

I tested Editor with a document written by a colleague whose English is a second language. There were many obvious grammar errors that Editor did not highlight. I had selected my preferences in the Settings box before running Editor. I submitted my comments to Microsoft in the attached comment section. I'm surprised Editor wasn't as effective as I hoped.

[Thomasz-Tech-Innovations]

You should do a video on making a basic product catalog with Excel.

[sany]

That's awesome! I enjoyed that very much. Presently I am using that in comments to get the result. Sentence rewriting would be amazing too!

[gracemark]

[LuminouszZtarr]
