Thanks for the suggestions. I am wondering if I might be a better scanner
than proofer. I've done both over the years. Off to take a look at the
scanning portion of the volunteer manual now.

Dear Jamie,
Here are a few ideas for improving your proofreading. If you really want to
do a good job, you really need to read line by line and be patient with
yourself. You are doing this, not for your own reading necessarily, but to
benefit others. So, before you do anything, check for dashes, hyphens that
have a space following the hyphen, for the elipsis. Read the proofreading
manual--you might want to write certain things down--when to bold text, the
size of the bolded material. Take your time and be willing to correct text
carefully. Proofreading takes time and patience and dedication. If I can
help in any other way, let me know.
