how you _edit_ has nothing to do with how you send the document off to
the publisher.
I do most editing on-screen, but certain types of things you're much
more likely to spot on a physical printout compared to a screen, however
large and expensive. This applies to copy-editing, and
pagination/justification control, as well as estimation of a new
"layout" (read: template).
Those last items aren't part of a copyeditor's job, but a
typesetter's. A proofreader _might_ be asked to comment, but usually
the design department gets highly offended when the editorial
department dares to make a comment. (I've been doing this
professionally for 36 years.)
