In my job I have to edit my own and other's writing. I have to pick up spelling mistakes, changes in font, spacing and formatting irregularities and poor writing. It's hard for me to pick up all errors in the moment & on the screen - I can edit other people's work more easily than my own. For my own work I do better when I print off what I have written, and re-read the hard copy an hour or so later, or the next morning, pen in hand.

One technique is to use a ruler and go down the page line by line, until each paragraph has been cleared or amended.

good luck
