I know Word's spellcheck won't catch everything. And it won't tell you when you have "there" in place of "their." But I always copy the text out of a nearly final PDF, paste it into Word, and run spellcheck right at the end of a project, and it ALWAYS catches at *least* one thing that proofreaders, authors, editors, and I all missed. Today it was "Commonweath" instead of "Commonwealth."

Whew.
