Word's spelling and grammar check is giving me the green squiggle of OOPs beneath "kneel" in this sentence: [he]shifted from a kneel to a crouch.

Word is satisifed by a change to "kneeling", but doesn't "kneeling" create parallel structure issues (kneeling is a verb, crouch (in this instance) is a noun)? Which is correct?

I think "kneel" as a noun is not correct. I would say "He shifted from kneeling" or "He shifted from a kneeling position" or "He moved from kneeling to crouching."
