Someone provided me a business document and asked me to check it and I have found an error.
If i want to point out the error, how would a native speaker express "there is no problem except this one I found"?

It's OK to say There is no problem except it or this one.– KhanJan 26, 2015 at 7:03

I am not a native speaker but i would say "there is no problem but ..." in this context "but" means "other than"/"except"– AverageGatsbyJan 26, 2015 at 8:00

I would say
"Everything looks good except for a typo in the first sentence of the third paragraph."
That is a little informal, and if you wanted to be more formal you could say
"The document is correct except for the typo on line 63."
You could say "There is no error except in this para" or "There is a little error here" or "You should have a little change here".

Sorry, a small typing error ! and yes, if you are using english(uk) dialect, you won't do that! But, i don't think that's a problem in us english dialect.– MihirUjJan 26, 2015 at 14:25

I am American. Abbreviating paragraph is not incorrect, but I wouldn't do it unless I was working with documents that had a lot of references to paragraphs and subsections, like specifications or legal documents. For general purpose correspondence I would write it out.– ColleenVJan 26, 2015 at 14:30

Yes, you are correct. I won't either. But, here he has a business document.– MihirUjJan 26, 2015 at 14:31
