About this webinar
We all want our writing to be clear and concise and agonise over getting it just right. Is that the correct word? Have I put the comma in the right place? Should that be an em-dash or an en-dash? Sometimes we just need a tool to help us identify the typos and grammatical inconsistencies or highlight the punctuation errors. This session will demonstrate free tools to improve our writing and help us become better writers.

What a great presentation. Thanks for the comprehensive summary of the various programs, as well as the handy hints and tips. Hopefully now I can polish up my writing.\nI was stunned to learn that I have been using em-dashes incorrectly for more than 50 years!
Thanks for that detailed presentation Cathie, which explained so much more than what I was expecting.\nBobbie
Very helpful comparisons of the tools. Great handout!
How to be a better communicator. Because genealogy is not just about old papers.
Very interesting, especially the different ways of getting help with grammar and punctuation. Thanks Cathie for all the new websites to visit and explore.
It helps so much!!
Excellent presentation. Are there notes I can download?
I learned more about grammar today. I learned that the long and short lines are called em and en. However, my computer puts in em's when I want en's. I think en's look better on the page.
