I edit using Word. I use both the spellcheck and the grammar check, but only as a backup to find egregious mistakes. I verify each change.
What grammar check is useful for is finding things like a missing close quotation mark or a missing period at the end of a sentence. Occasionally it will spot an actual error in subject-verb agreement, though most of the time what it thinks is an error isn't. It also points out some homonyms and asks if you're sure you've got the right one.
