Try to keep sidebars on the same page if possible, but do place them in a position such that they do not break the flow of the text, like at the end of a paragraph or a section if the end of a section is handy and not pages later.

Hi, Are we supposed to move sidebars and tables to the end of sentenses if they are interupted? thanks, Jackie On 5/9/12, Roger Loran Bailey<rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx> wrote:Leave the British quotation marks as they are. Just designate the language as British English when you submit the book.

Someone said to me yesterday that they thought that we are supposed to change all those English quotes to the American system. I sure hope the person I was talking to is just confused. I so totally disagree with that idea. I see my job as a proofreader or submitter as keeping the book as close as possible to the original. I will move a few words around, if a footnote or sidebar interrupts a sentence, but otherwise, it should stay as is. I even leave in misspelled words, if I can determine they're misspelled in the original, though it bugs me to do it. Changing all the quotes from one system to another is a change from the way the book was published, which adds nothing to its comprehensibility, and is a massive waste of a volunteer's valuable time. If someone has decided that's how it should be done, then that decision should be revisited. As you can tell, I feel pretty passionate about this.
