Yes, Word does fix certain things automatically. However, it also offers suggestions for phrasing and tells you if a comma is needed in a certain areas I failed to write in correct English. Some spelling mistakes are not fixed immediately and you do have to fix them yourself. I don't want to be told that something is wrong while I am writing. It halts my flow. I just want to get it down on "paper" and continue with my vision. When I am done I will check it - add commas, revise phrasing, etc.

Frankly, I can't imagine writing in anything but Notepad.
