How can I make an emergency repair to typed body copy?

Save Extra Type

Don't throw away clean copy until your newsletter has safely reached the hands of your subscribers...you never know when you'll need emergency type "first aid." If you happen to notice a typo while pasting up your newsletter, you should be able to find the same word or same combination of letters in the same type size and font, to make a quick repair. Simply cut out the error using your T-square and X-acto knife, and replace with type from discarded proof originals. Be sure to use your burnisher to prevent the type from falling off.
