First track changes, and then gel pens once the content has been galleyed (is that how you spell that? I think it is). I hate the paper usage, but there's really no way around it—we catch so much more when things are printed out. @Liz: We do both.

Where I work, everyone seems to insist on using Word and it's oh-so-(less-than-)spectacular "track changes" function. I *hate* it. I'm the layout person, and these changes frequently come after I've put everything into layout. They say, "Can you put this PDF into a Word doc so we can edit it?" I try to get them to print the dang thing out and just take a red pen to it, or even just mark up the PDF in Acrobat. But noo... they can't do that! They're computer guys! They don't even *own* red pens! (Nevermind that it's way more work for me to re-lay everything out from scratch again instead of just making the edits myself in InDesign. That's not their problem.) Seriously -- you guys and your gel pens are my HEROES! :) Ooh, I love that you guys do all your editing with paper and (multi-colored gel) pens.
