Check Document doesn't check grammar

With the new update, when I "Check Document" in word, it only checks spelling and not grammar.  It will not check grammar unless you have "check grammar as you type as an option".   I don't want to check grammar as I type, I just want to check it when I'm done.  I assumed - shame on me I guess - that "Check Document" would check both spelling and grammar.  How do I get it to check grammar without having the "check grammar as you type option on?"  Thanks

    This problem does not appear to occur in all versions of Word. I just tested your example in Word release 1804 (part of Office Professional ProPlus) and it worked properly:

    But it appears that you have "Check grammar as you type" enabled.

    True; it turns out that I forgot to uncheck those options. But I see the same even when I turn off "Check spelling as you type" and "Mark grammar errors as you type."

    Okay, well, Jeff Cruzan is going to follow up with Gloria Gong, so perhaps we'll get some movement on the issue.

    Is there any update on this issue.  This is a pretty big issue that Grammar checker is not working.

    Is there a way to revert to a prior version that doesn't use this new Editor.

    I type "these is absoluteness crazies." and it comes up with zero grammar errors and YES I have "Mark Grammar as you type".

    Please advise on when this will be fixed.  Thank you
