P.S. I'm glad I went back to the new manual. I did't know we're supposed
to put spaces between asterisks; I just put the asterisks without spaces
between them to indicated blank line spaces in the text; should I go back
and changes them to spaced asterisks? I've never had a proof returned to
me for that before; is that someting new?

years I was surprised to find out about the need to protect repeated text
in poetry and children's books (https://www.bookshare.org/cms
/proofreading-home). It made sense once I thought about it, since it's
from the Bookshare converter tool doing its trick of stripping running
headers and running footers. But it never connected for me before that a
children's book or a poetry book with a repeated stanza that is at the very
top or very bottom of a page might have that eaten by the converter tool.
Ugh.
The way we're supposed to handle footnotes has also changed, back to what
I think we did way back when I started volunteering. It makes more sense to
me to do it the way it is in the new manual, than how we were doing it by
putting footnotes in square brackets.
With the new manual all on one web page and downloadable as an rtf, I
guess I can finally quit complaining now about about how hard the old
manuals have been to navigate, and that they weren't available in a
document! grin.
