EDITING
'[Editing] was like removing layers of crumpled brown paper from an awkwardly shaped parcel, and revealing the attractive present which it contained.'

Copy Editing
A thorough copy edit includes attention to grammar, spelling, punctuation, ease of reading, and also tightens up sentences that are overly wordy. This is done using Track Changes in Microsoft Word for the ease of the writer and the editor.
Proofreading
Proofreading is essentially the last opportunity to pick up small errors and typos, after the book or piece of writing has been edited. This can be done in Word or on a PDF.
