Hi, KIm.
I do almost exactly what you do: Take care of all the replacements before I
start proofreading the book. I do all the replacements you do, except for the
one you called "split dialog." What is that and what do you do about it? I
love learning new stuff, and I thank you for whatever help you can be.
