You could try Grammatik (I'm not sure what version they are upto...) 
Grammatik III is the latest I've seen tho'...  it checks for things like
passive voice, incomplete sentences, improper article usage, s-v agreement,
etc.  and it "directly supports 37 major word processors" (blurb from the
box)  including WordPerfect, Wordstar, & Word.  It also got an Editor's
Choice from PC magazine.  

Oh, it's by:  Reference Software, Inc.
              330 Townsend Street, Suite 123
              San Francisco, CA  94107


Another one you could look for is called RightWriter.  I'd probably go
with the Grammatik tho.  I haven't really used Grammatik III (this is 
a friend's), but I've used both RightWriter & Grammatik II before, and
thought Grammatik II was more useful.

Hope this helps some...
