You need to have very good visual reading skills, good spelling and good grammar. For theses, you need to have some knowledge of the subject matter. If it is for publication, you will also need to learn the standard abbreviations/ symbols for corrections.

Keith – may I contradict you and say that much of what you have listed is editing rather than proof reading.

read it backwards to check for spelling and grammar errors

read it for readability

read it for consistency

read it for continuity of thought and non-contradiction
