Question: How much
planning occurs when using word processing?
Answer: “When word
processing, writers did less planning.” C Haas. 1988. P. 213.
Comment: That’s the second study I have read
concerning word processing and planning. Both agree. There is less planning
when using the word processor. The corollary is that more planning occurs when
using paper and pencil. When I don’t know what I am going to write, I always
begin by brainstorming with paper and pencil. When I know what I am going to
write, like memos, I use the word processor. RayS.
