1. Another trick that can help is to print it out. As soon as it is a hard copy, you will see problems that were not in the e version. Try it with a chapter or two. You'll see. I see the changes immediately. 

2. I have heard that changing font can do this too. 

3. Here's one way some errors can creep in: I've changed names on several characters and changed several in-world words for things. But when I am adding a new scene I occasionally use the old name/word without thinking. So, I need to search in Word for each of those names and words at the very end, make sure all the Ronalds are Ronalds and not Ruperts. Unless the intention is to have a character [called wrong in dialog.](http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2016-12-29/did-you-notice-the-sly-nod-to-rupert-grint-in-harry-potter-and-the-half-blood-prince/)
