My answers are in between, although I know you have already gotten some
excellent advice on person assignations.
<<<Iâm proofing a book with italicized diary entries at the beginning of
several chapters. These entries are all from different characters entering
into the same journal, so each entry is also in a different font.
Do these entries get any special attention? Do I put them into a different
font, or do I make some sort of description about them? Or do I format them
in
the same font as the rest of the book?>>>
Everything submitted is changed to a single font, so that is time wasted. I
would retain the italics and connote speaker in square brackets as Cindy
suggested.
<<<Also, while Iâm writing here, do the location of page numbers need to be
consistent? The scan has the majority of page numbers on the bottom of the
page, but on each new chapter page the number is at the top. Iâve been moving
them to the bottom to make them consistent, but Iâm not sure what the âruleâ
is.
We have been told it does not matter the tool fixes inconsistent top or bottom
page numbering, but that has not been my experience. My preference is top, for
ease of proofing, but I have seen it duplicated in many books as an unspoken
and
spoken, but both visual, number, but my current reading tool does not work on
the Mac and downloading is not even web accessible in Mountain Lion, so I
cannot
get more specific right now. In my experience I have found fewer errors with
bottom page numbering, but if my numbers are already on top, I do not move
them,
especially as it helps me for working and comparing to the print book.
Hope I didn't muddy the waters! Welcome to Bookshare, hope you love it as much
as our family does!
