Judy,


I guess I wasn't clear enough. The two superscripts I have are not footnotes. I 
did see what the manual says about them. One is a degrees symbol. The other is 
like a 'to the third power' symbol (3). 50 degrees comes out 500 (it's suppose 
to be part of a coordinates number).

Hi Tim,

It's in the volunteer proofreading manual, in the advanced proofreading
topics at 
https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/4.+Proofread+a+book#4.Proofreadabook-4advancedproofreadingtopics

Hope that helps! smile.

Superscripts and Subscripts
                  a.  If footnote numbers or footnote letters are
superscripted or subscripted, leave them that way.
                  b.  The same holds true if footnote numbers or
footnote letters are not superscripted or
                       subscripted:  leave them as they are.
                  c.  Put parentheses around each footnote number or
footnote letter.
                       Also, if not already there, add a space between
the footnote number or footnote letter and
                       the word before it.

in the whole book and they are back in Appendix B. How are they handled?
