Hi Alyssa,

        As long as it makes sense, it sounds fine. Some people move boxed
information so that it doesn't split a sentence in the middle, but I don't
think it's a huge problem not to do that.  You kind of have to arrow around
to refresh your train of thought, but having been a student too, I got used
to having to do that.  Just my opinion.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Textbook Question

I finished proofing a textbook that Shelley had scanned. I'm just waiting
for a few pages to be rescanned before submitting it for approval. In the
meantime, I came up with a question. This particular issue didn't really
phase me since I am a college student and deal with e-texts on a regular
basis. However, I realize what I am about to mention might confuse some
people when reading this book and any others with this type of information
in it, so I wanted to get some opinions on it. 
 
On some pages, there are captions and tables. A lot of times, I have found
that these items are in the middle or bottom of pages, so they manage to
split the main text up to some extent. I have left them as they were when I
checked the book out because it made perfect sense to me. Is there something
I should do to make sure that this is clear to everyone and that people
understand that there isn't missing text in the book? Thanks.
