Ssshhh, i'ts report season!

This time of year is the most hated by teachers, surely. It's hated for one simple reason: reports!
Well I've managed to complete all of mine, and did the usual "check for any spelling mistakes" to make sure nothing comes back to me to be corrected. Now I am fortunate, I'm using a piece of report writing software that offers me phrases set to correct levels.
However, I can't believe that it won't do something really basic that I expected it to, namely check EVERY report for spelling errors, grammar errors and gender errors in one go. Nope! It does them one at a time - and it won't even run the three checks at once. I have to do a gender check, followed by a spelling and grammar check. Once it's done I move onto the next report and repeat. How time consuming is that? To check through 28 reports, it's taken me over 1 hour.

I want one button that says "Check all reports for gender / spelling and grammar errors" and with a single click checks through every single one of them. Is that asking too much?
