  • 3. Use Tricks to Freshen Your Eye Every experienced technical editor has her favorite trick to get a fresh perspective on a document. Here are some of the ones I’ve heard over the years: Turn the document upside down. Start from the end and read backwards, going line by line. Zoom in to 200 percent or more, particularly to edit graphics. Zoom out until you can see the entire page to edit overall page elements, such as the space before and after headings. Read aloud to both slow yourself down and to catch errors you’ve overlooked reading silently. Create a PDF of your document and proofread that.
