Hi Chris,
Here are the guidelines. For the following, an image is the same as a
picture and both are the same as an illustration.
1. Images must be removed. Instead in place of the image just type in
the following: [Image Removed]. Make sure you put the phrase "image
removed" inside of square brackets, which is typed as follows:
left-square-bracket image removed right-square-bracket.
2. If the image has a caption that correctly scanned, do the following:
put square brackets around the caption. To do this, put the phrase
"caption:" inside of square brackets, and in front of the sentence or
sentences that make up the caption. So you will type in :
left-square-bracket caption colon space the image caption sentence
right-square-bracket.
3. Alternatively, you can remove the image and replace it with a
written image description. A written image descriptions may be
substituted (usually this is only done if the scanner is sighted, or you
have a sighted proofreader who can look at the image and describe it. If
you ever want to do that, just post and ask for instructions.
I hope that helps. smile.
