Hi, Alicia,
The section in the manual you are looking for is under
4.8 Advanced Proofreading topicss
C. Footnotes, Superscripts and Subscripts, and Sidebars
1) Footnotes
2) Superscripts and Subscripts
a. If footnote numbers or footnote letters are superscripted
or
subscripted, leave them that way.
b. The same holds true if footnote numbers or footnote
letters
are not superscripted or
subscripted: leave them as they are.
c. Put parentheses around each footnote number or footnote
letter.
Also, if not already there, add a space between the
footnote
number or footnote letter and
the word before it.
In the body of the text, change this:
Unemployment rose in the middle of this decade1.
to this:
Unemployment rose in the middle of this decade (1).
Lori C.

Hi,
This is one of my first times proofing a book so I apologize if this question
has already been answered. The book I'm proofing has a notes section, so
throughout the text there are numbers, which would normally be superscripted,
but when scanned are just numbers in the text. What is the correct format for
these numbers which refer to a note in the back section of the book, leave as
is or to turn them into superscripts?
Thank you,
Alicia Stillwell
P.S. I couldn't find this anywhere in the handbook, but if it is in there if
someone could point me to that location it would be greatly appreciated.
