Hi, Tim, I saw those books you mentioned in the Bookshare collection.
Congratulations. It's always a delight to see stuff you worked on ready
for other people to read. It still is delightful to me. Incidentally, if
you like SF, I just finished proofreading a SF anthology which is in the
Bookshare collection. Boy, what a challenge that was. Regards from a
fellow proofreader and wishing you much success, Kim Friedman.

Valerie, I am a proofreader. It was a formatting problem. Everything is
okay now. Thanks.

What you are saying toggles everything on or off, style wise, Tim. You
do not need to release it to download it again. Just go to your checked
out book page and the last column after the books name is RTF and
clicking it will start a new download.
I still think it is probably either a formatting or scanner problem.
Are you the scanner or the proofreader? I am a little confused by your
wording.
I will be gone all day tomorrow, but maybe Mayrie or someone else can
walk you through possible problems and solutions...

Valerie, I highlighted the whole text and clicked on italics and the
whole text became italics. I'm going to release the book and then
download it again. I'm also going to read the manual. (grin) Tim

It sounds like you might be pulling down regular in the font menus which
removes all font formatting including italics.
Hopefully it is easy like that.
Another option could be your scanning software if you scan as plain
text.

Hi Everyone,
As proofreaders, we are suppose to keep all italics in the book, right?
I have Word 2003 and when I set up a book for proofing, it takes all the
italics out. Does anyone know what could be set wrong? It's a real pain
to put them back in one page at a time. Thanks. Tim
