Not entirely -
1. 'Typesetter' is closer.
2.  Only in body copy.
3. Tabs and Return ARE separations so I don't quite get this.
4. Pen draft first, edit into the machine (Oh, hang on that's typewriter style! 
Works, but).
5. Sometimes I have to edit to get the formatting right - to avoid 'rivers' for 
instance.

Add -
NEVER use text underlining (it was done on typewriters only because they can't 
do bold or italic). Use a 'rule' instead.

I used to use the word processor in Pagemaker and then import into a document - 
partly to avoid using Word. A very different approach and so typewriter style 
problems never crept in. But then I do have a bit of design training. It's just 
talent that I lack.
