Bob (and anyone else in a similar situation),
I've been editing on screen for years (teleworking) and find it very
practical in most cases (though it took a bit of getting used to at first).
However, sometimes I need to see hard copy, so I print out whatever I'm
working on.
You might want to subscribe to my weekly e-mail newsletter for "electronic
editors" -- people editing stuff on screen. Archived copies are at http://www.wrevenge.com.au/newsletr.htm
Send email to news -at- wrevenge -dot- com -dot- au to subscribe.
Please feel free to email me any specific questions, and I'll try to answer
them.
