Default no grammar check in publisher?

I recently started to use Publisher (2003) to create a "release notes"
document that is text-intensive (yet takes advantage of Publisher's many
features) and I was surprised that there isn't a grammar checker included.

The easiest way I can think of doing what I need is to type the text
passages in Word, then copy&paste it into a text box after Word has done a
grammar check. Personally, I find that to be a bit tedious (the back and
forth between programs).

Publisher is a page layout application. Text intensive documents are best done
in Word, all the tools are readily available. You have found the workaround.
There are third-party grammar applications available.
