Summary
The most effective way, though not required, is to
download a book you're willing to read and read it,
making corrections, i.e., correcting scanning errors
(we call them scannos), eliminating junk characters,,
putting in page breaks if necessary, as you go. If you
have Kurzweill, Elizabeth says to do a spell-check, (I
forget what it's called) but that won't catch words
that are spelled correctly but are the wrong word in
context, e.f. modem for modern (m for rn is common),
the numeral one for the capital I, etc.
That's is in brief. Oh--if a word is hyphenated at the
end of sentence but is normally not a hyphenated
compound word, delete the hyphen. If the word comes at
the end of a page, decide whether to put the whole
word at the top of the next pageor the bottom of the
first page.
Any questions you need to ask, feel free to ask here.
