Dear Booksharian Friends,I handle picture captions and descriptions as you do, Misha, as I know several other scanners and proofers do.
Speaking for myself, I would add that I place them between paragraphs. I don't interrupt sentences or paragraphs to insert them. That means I put them as near as possible to the bottom or top of the page as they appear, but adjust the placement a little to accommodate the flow of reading.
If the picture is on a page by itself, I do put the caption/description on that page whether a sentence is interrupted or not, preserving the integrity of the pages by putting the material about the picture on the whole picture page.
Misha, are you still not a member of Bookshare because you have too much vision and no other disabilities which interfere with reading? While you're recuperating from your surgery, you could join because I imagine handling books could be painful for a while. I would gladly donate credits for your membership, as i know several of us would line up to do. Listening to daisy books or reading them on your computer screen using a mouse would be theraputic during your rehabilitation. You could let us know if any of the sf books in the collection which you didn't put there yourself, need bso-ing.
Best wishes for a successful outcome and speedy recovery from your operation.

When there is a picture caption, but I add descriptions as well I do it this way.[picture caption. A boy walking his dog Clifford.][picture description: A very small boy walking his very large, very red dog Clifford.]Misha On 4/26/2011 6:38 PM, Pamela Hoffard wrote:Mayrie,Does this apply even if the book has a printed picture caption?
