If you were to print a copy of your document, ask a friend to proofread it. They'd use red pen to mark errors and write suggestions in the margins. Electronic proofreading is easier with Word's Track Changes and Comments features. Turn on Track Changes in the Review tab to see edits as markup. Deleted text is crossed out, added text is underlined, allowing the owner to review changes before finalizing. Use New Comment to add comments in the margins, like when addressing a letter to a hiring manager.
