Answer to Question 1

Answer: Look for two types of problems: (1) undetected mistakes from the writing, design, and layout stages and (2) mistakes that crept in during production. For the first category, you can review format and layout guidelines in Appendix A (including standard formats for letters and memos) and brush up on writing basics with the Handbook of Grammar, Mechanics, and Usage at the end of the book. The second category can include anything from computer glitches such as incorrect typefaces to problem web links to problems with the ink used in printing. Be particularly vigilant with complex documents and complex production processes that involve teams of people and multiple computers. Strange things can happen as files move from computer to computer, especially when lots of separate media elements are involved.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Get some distance. If possible, don't proofread immediately after finishing the document. Let your brain wander off to new topics and then come back fresh later.
