Here are some ideas for teaching grammar and word processing at the same time. The idea is to teach word processing "on the side" while teaching grammar "up front". Each exercise forces students to use a different word processing skill. (The following exercises are the creation of Vance Stevens, from an idea spawned by Tom Cobb.)
