Your changes will be retained and as E said the proofer will be grateful that
you made them so he/she/won't have to, and the book will get into the
collection that much quicker.

As far as I know, the changes will be retained.
And, if there are smart quotes in the book, changing them to regular quotes is
important because those smart quotes are not handled properly by the braille
translator.

I have just finished my scan of "Mayor of
MacDougal Street: A Memoir" by Dave Van Ronk with Elijah Wald.
It was a beautiful scan, and the ranked
spelling is all done, and even yes, the index.
I was thinking of trying for my first
time to follow the Tips in the manual where you do the replacements
etc
Where you open the file in Word and do
the search and replace all of the various things like smart quotes and such
that I hear some of you have been talking about.
Before I do it, though, I wanted to make
sure it is desired. Or if really when I send up and upload it, and
submit the RTF file of the book. Will those cnanges be
retained?
I guess before I spend the time to do the
extra mile, I want to be sure that I am not doing it for no
reason.
Thanks.
