TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
>>Tell me your answers to editing. How do you do it?<<
Don't edit your own writing. Ask a fresh pair of eyes to it.
If you must QC your own writing, let it sit for as long as you can
(preferably days) and do something else for a while. Then go back and
check for things that a good WP spell checker might miss. You might even
try using Grammatik (or whatever Word and WordPerfect's built in grammar
checkers are called). I find these tools are really great for a laugh!
But they might also point out some awkward constructions.
