Hi Madeleine, thanks for telling me. I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong. Since I don't "see" the page, I have mine set to normal or print view. I have my screen reader read the text to me with all the punctuation marks being read. Often I might have to check for punctuation at the end of sentences and to know if words are capitalized. If they are, such as what might sound as the beginning of the sentence, especially if I check the word and it's capitalized, I conclude the word before it is where I should put punctuation to mark the end of sentences. Sometimes I have to put in quotation marks if they were dropped inadvertently by the scanner (referring to the scanner and not the person scanning). I tend to write to the submitter a lot of times to verify stuff, especially if there's a word left out in the text or I'm not sure what that weird word is supposed to be. I will look up weird stuff and if there is a definition for it, I will tend to leave it in if it makes sense since I might conclude it's supposed to be there. I don't always know what all the scannos are. I have a general idea of some of them such as "bam" for "barn" if it's obvious if I read "he headed out to the barn to feed the stock". Then it's pretty easy to know what the word should be and I don't write the submitter about those. I will write if I'm not sure about something that strikes me as odd. I used to use a Braille display which connected to the computer via a serial port but this computer doesn't have one. I can use my present Braille display to check for spacing and the like. I was a bit concerned because I was wondering if I was following proper procedure when proofreading books.

I prefer it when proofreading in Microsoft Word because I find it easier. That's just me though. It's an option in Word under "View."

What is draft view? Does one need to use it in proofreading fiction? Regards, Kim Friedman.
