Hi all,
An excellent post, Kim. One thing I noticed in your post that I wanted
to comment on. It's a small thing, but you say you don't want to ruin
the submitter's copy. Why do that anyway? I always make a copy of the
book before I begin proofing. That way, if I do something odd like
replacing all the commas with ampersands I can fix it and know that I'm
working with my own copy rather than the original submitter's copy.
Also, if you really, really muck up your copy, all you need to do is
copy the original file again after you delete your munged copy. Since
these files are zipped, I tend to keep the zipped file till after I'm
done proofing. Then, I delete it; keeping my proofed copy. It just
makes life a whole lot easier and you don't have to worry about making
mistakes. Just save the original file under a different name, and
voila, you've got your working copy. Just a tip from a working
proofer. <smiling> My word, I checked my stats yesterday, and I can't
believe it. I just renewed at the beginning of August, and the numbers
say I've got $18.00 in credits. That's amazing!
BTW, for Gwen who was going to give up, don't. You'll get it right.
We're behind you. Keep trekkin'.
Ann P.
