What is the point of being so careful to save the original file if you can
just go to your checked out books page and click the RTF link to download
it again whenever you might need it? It makes a lot more sense to me to
save a copy of your latest edited version to fall back on.

Hi Stephanie!
Welcome to the world of proofreading!
Please be sure to not work off of the original download. Load it into
Word and save as maybe as the filename without your name so that you can
distinguish it from the original. No matter how experienced a person is,
anyone can have what I call a "dumb" second and save changes that were
not wise. I've done it, and I've been proofreading since late
October. I also like to have a new file for each proofreading session,
though others never do that, so that is a personal choice. I save each
copy with a number so 1 gets saved as 2 in the filename, and so on.
It doesn't matter how you choose to handle this as long as you have a
virgin file to fall back on if necessary..

I hope it is alright, I am trying to proofread my first book here and
was wondering who I sure open it. I have open it with Word but I was
wondering if this was a mistake. Just wondering. OH! Does someone check
behind you after you release it as I don't want to make a mistake..
