At the very least, make sure you get rid of all the red squigglies, and ask someone else to read it for you.

What is the easiest way to do that in Word, when it flags many technical terms as spelling errors? You can turn off spell check, but that setting doesn't stay with the document. Also, if you spell check and mark the item as correct, sometimes that action will stay with the document, however grammar items don't seem to stick with the document even after you mark it as correct.

The only way I can think of is to turn it into a PDF, but many places still want a Word doc.

You should be able to add words to your dictionary. I have no idea what to do about the grammar items. Those are the green squigglies. :)

Alternatively, maybe don't use Word? If you must submit a Word doc, maybe export to .DOCX format at the very end of the process?
