I think the best editing you can possibly do is read your book out loud from start to finish. Your voice will catch errors that your eyes gloss over. This will (hopefully) catch:

1. Words that should be removed. ("He the then said,")
2. Sentences that flow poorly or go on for too long.
3. Spelling errors that Word can't catch. ("What do you have their?")
