Unfortunately technology is just not at the point where it can adequately proofread. It's good for a first pass to catch the major spelling issues but the old human brain is still the best software available. That, an Unabridged Dictionary and the old manual of style. I'd never ever turn on the grammar checker even though I got a D in grammar because I sat behind Lisa... Well anyway grammar checkers are awful.
And sadly Wordperfect is done for. As an independant author if you use anything other than Word you are just making your job that much harder.
