Sticky-notes WILL leave residue which can eventually affect the paper, triangular plastic clips (if that is what is referred to) DO bend the paper and can eventually cause tears, and pencil is better because it does not run and smear and eat away at paper like ink can.<br>
Of course - these are all long term effects that I am concerned with as an archivist - for stuff in your personal files etc. it probably is not important. For irreplaceable things it is. You have to make a judgment call on this like so much else!!!<br>

<div>NEVER, NEVER highlight anything on a document. A highlighted area
does not photo copy well and is generally unacceptable in applications for
organizations like the Daughters of the American Revolution, which now scans
such documents.<br><br>So that the client can easily spot an ancestor's name on
a record, I put a small checkmark in the margin of the document next to the line
where the name appears. I usually use red ink so that it really stands out
but does not obscure the information.<br></div>
