RE: Need Feedback from Technical Editors

["Julian Cantella" <jcantel -at- us -dot- ibm -dot- com>]

Shelley,

Do technical editors still use hard copy for edits? (Is this a personal 
preference or a department/company policy? For example, personally, I like 
to see a hardcopy to edit, and then I make my edits electronically.)

I haven't used hard copy in more than ten years, for my primary position 
or freelance work.

When editing electronically, do you use track changes (such as MS Word)? 
Do you edit in Adobe products (such as Acrobat Pro)? Do you use iPad 
applications (such as IAnnotate, Cabinet, or QuickEdit)?

I've used MS Word, Acrobat Pro, some other PDF software, presentation 
software such as PowerPoint, and various DITA editors. Where possible, I 
track changes.
 
How do tablets figure in to your editing?

They don't.

Sincerely,

Julian Cantella
