Does writing something on computer help memorize it? There is an interesting question on this site:

Does writing something down help memorize it?

Now my question is, does writing something on computer (i.e. using Word, Notepad, ...) help memorize it?

I usually learn by rewriting texts I read on computer. I never use copy-paste and always rewrite text myself and change it a little (acording to my needs, also I often translate it).   

I use computer mainly because:


I can write faster on computer than on paper
I am often lazy to find paper and I don't want to waste paper when I will probably throw it away 2 days later anyway (consider environment, please don't consider as a "throw away exam")
It easier to edit text written on computer, can search within it, ...


So does the writing text on computer have the same advantages as writing down on paper?

Sub question: Does formatting of text have any influence on this?
According to a study by Anne Mangen and Jean-Luc Velay of the University of Stavanger, handwriting is better than typing for learning:

  Mangen refers to an experiment involving two groups of adults, in
  which the participants were assigned the task of having to learn to
  write in an unknown alphabet, consisting of approximately twenty
  letters. One group was taught to write by hand, while the other was
  using a keyboard. Three and six weeks into the experiment, the
  participants’ recollection of these letters, as well as their rapidity
  in distinguishing right and reversed letters, were tested. Those who
  had learned the letters by handwriting came out best in all tests.
  Furthermore, fMRI brain scans indicated an activation of the Brocas
  area within this group. Among those who had learned by typing on
  keyboards, there was little or no activation of this area.


However, I'm having a hard time finding the actual research paper.
