Paperless Office...

I can't proof read on the screen, even with 2 screens I like to see a paper copy and manipulate it the hard way with a pen. If I'm working on multiple docs I still find it easy to write notes on one of the documents and then copy these back onto the electronic version.

Must be the way that my brain is wired.

nope, I have to print things out. Particularly at the moment when I'm putting stuff into a report. Only makes sense to me with the paper copy on my desk and a big pen to tick with :)

If I'm editing on-screen, I still make the corrections on a paper copy and transfer them to the electronic document later. I jsut can't do it any other way. I don't read manuscripts on-screen either. I can't scribble all over it, can I?

Your brain's wired? Too much coffee and alcohol.

It's not just you. It's much easier to proofread or compare hardcopy than electronic documents.
