Script formatting is MUCH trickier, the little I know about that.

Spell check doesn't catch if you've correctly spelled the wrong word, or written there when it should be their, and so on.

Plus, what would-be self-publishers don't understand is that there is all kinds of different editing, not just correcting the spelling. If you want to self-publish, good for you, but hire an actual professional to look over your work.
