The effective strategies for editing your writing from the provided options are:

1. Identify the errors you commonly make in your writing. - This helps you focus on areas that need improvement.

2. Print out your writing. - Reviewing a printed document can help you see mistakes and issues that you might overlook on a screen.

The first two options, reviewing only on a computer and relying solely on a spell-checking program, are less effective as they can lead to missing errors or nuances in writing that need more careful consideration.

Using a combination of methods, such as reading aloud, getting feedback from others, and reviewing in different formats (both digital and print), can also enhance the editing process.
