Active and Passive and Grammar & Style Check
More on passive vs. active.   As I and many other bloggers have noted, the condemnation of passive voice has tempered somewhat and most agree that active voice is not always best.  Lynn Gaertner-Johnson at Business Writing points out that Microsoft Word can help identify passive voice in your writing.  Simply change the grammar check option to “grammar and style” rather than “grammar only.”  Then Word will alert you to the passive voice just as it alerts you to sentence fragments and misspellings.
