At my last job I seem to remember an intention to create a "Paperless Office." As one who did not grow up with a computer in my crib, I found that I could not trust myself to proof read from a computer screen. And I always found it to be a good idea to let a writing "sit and cool" for at least a couple hours before trying to proof read, not only for errors but for content too. I had a professor whose lesson was always "Draftsmanship" and 35 years later I could still hear his words ringing in my ears.
