I agree with Lazybones, many of my students do not realise that Word is not magic and can get it wrong.
When I handed my last story (The Academy) to my editor I had gone through it a zillion and a half times. There was NOTHING wrong with it. Nothing was underlined in any color (unless I disagreed with Word on it, which any good editor will do from time to time). The manuscript was PERFECT I tell you, PERFECT!

Then my editor started working on it... and changed something in just about every single sentence. Mistakes that I could only see AFTER she pointed them out. Why? Cause when you read your own work, you tend to read what you meant to right, not what you wrote.
