I have a few suggestions that, I believe, would make the 
editor's life easier and the interaction much more 
efficient. 
1- All contributors submit their material in plain text, not in 
formatted Word documents. This would involve copy/paste work for the editor, 
which is much easier than fixing formatting inconsistencies in 
Word. 
2- Editor provide a .pdf file of the latest revision with line 
numbers restarting on each page. 
3- Contributors refer to Section number, Page number, and Line 
number, in this order, and give clear instructions as to what they want to be 
done to the text. 
4- Let's follow IEEE's Style Manual directions for giving 
instructions to the editor. I quote from the manual: 
QUOTE 
The editing instructions are shown in bold italic. Four editing instructions are used: change, delete, insert, and replace. Change is used to make small corrections in existing text or tables. The editing instruction specifies the location of the change and describes what is being changed by using strikethrough (to remove old material) and underscore (to add new material). Delete removes existing material. Insert adds new material without disturbing the existing material. Insertions may require renumbering. If so, renumbering instructions are given in the editing instruction. Replace is used to make large changes in existing text, subclauses, tables, or figures by removing existing material and replacing it with new material. Editorial notes will not be carried over into future editions because the changes will be incorporated into the base standard. UNQUOTE 
Regards, 
Reza Arefi
