I don't think you can undo that much. I have the copy she proofed so I can
just go through it with spell checker and write down words I think I changed
and go back to my working copy and set them back. A little trouble but very
doable.

What about any scannos in the original file? Wouldn't you have to reproof
the entire book if you ditch your working copy and go back to the original?
Couldn't you just use the Undo feature in MS Word? If that's what you use to
proof that is.

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...?
