Hi alyssa,
I deal with books like this all the time, too, but you're right, it could
throw some people off. If I work with a book like that, I put in brackets
that it's a caption, table, or whatever, if it's not clearly marked already.
I might add "text continues below", or some other description, if it's
really confusing. The brackets let the reader/bookshare member know that
it's a note added by the proof reader.
hth,
Caitlyn

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.
