SUMMARY
Many third-party programs that are used to check Microsoft Word for Windows files (such as Grammatik) do not work correctly if the file is saved with a fast save, rather than a normal save. A fast save appends changes to a document to the end of a file, rather than rearranging the entire file to insert all changes every time you save the file.
