RE: Making online reading/editing easier (was Online vs paper-basedediting)

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

Stuart serendipitously stumbled onto one of my standard self-proofing
techniques. I *always* check the doc layout in full-page view (onscreen,
not printed). At the same time, I temporarily change Word's field
shading view to Always, which helps me pick up glitches in the
cross-referencing.
