An Assessment of Computerized Text Editing Programs.
Scheibal, William J.; Kohut, Gary F.
Bulletin of the Association for Business Communication, v54 n2 p38-42 Jun 1991
Addresses the question of whether text editing programs are successful in taking over the traditional functions of an editor. Compares the editing suggestions made by two of the most popular text editing programs ("RightWriter" and "Punctuation + Style") with those of an experienced editor. Finds that text editing programs are no substitute for human editors. (PRA)
