Beyond the page-break: towards better tools for remediation of born-digital documents
A legacy of print is that much of our process and tooling is predicated on using text in paginated form, such as was required for (paper) printed media. Increasingly, digitally-created (‘born-digital’) documents will never be used non-digitally and yet their internal structure is still optimised for paginated presentation. As modern displays now offer the affordance of decomposition and remediation of complex documents, this article explores the limitations of this legacy design for post-paper-print era use and considers the design implications for writing tools intended for the new digital era.

Abstract
A legacy of print is that much of our process and tooling is predicated on using text in paginated form, such as was required for (paper) printed media. Increasingly, digitally-created (‘born-digital’) documents will never be used non-digitally and yet their internal structure is still optimised for paginated presentation. As modern displays now offer the affordance of decomposition and remediation of complex documents, this article explores the limitations of this legacy design for post-paper-print era use and considers the design implications for writing tools intended for the new digital era.
