Hi all,
Good, I'm glad to be proven right. I left the punctuation and the
British spellings in the last book I did for you, Deborah. All I did
was change font size for the chapters.
Larry, what I'm hoping is that you still have the original scan, and
that you can work with that instead of having to revamp your working
file. Just ditch the working file and make a new one from the original scan.
That brings me to a tip which may or may not have been put in the
manual, though it ought to be. When I proof, I make a working copy
from the original download file, call it something new and use that as
my working file. Why? Because if you make a horrible mistake that
affects the whole manuscript, then all you do is ditch the working copy
and go back to the original and make a new working copy. It came in
mighty handy just two weeks ago when I was bedeviled by a gaggle of
elipses. I tried to fix them in "one swell foop" as my dad used to
say, but my fix resulted in elipses consisting of six or seven dots! I
deleted that working file and went back to square one, recopied the
original file and I just checked the blessed elipses one-by-one.
Elizabeth Moon loves her elipses! Need I say more...?
