    The lines are for the following:

    Red for flagged spelling errors (or words that MS Word doesn't know).

    Green for flagged gramatical errors, such a subj/verb aggreement..

    Blue for flagged contextual errors.  A word spelled correctly but used out of context.  I "no" you "no" what that means.
