Hi, Bobbie,

I don't know what, if any, the preferred form is.
Jake's hints might have something. But here's what I
do:

Because I started working with Project Gutenberg, I
put the footnotes numbers in parentheses after the
sentence if I can. But I admit that if the book is
long and boring to me and I don't want to read it as I
usually do, I leave them as they are and let the
reader do whatever he/she wants to do with them. I
don't beleive we're required to do anything, but if
I'm actually reading the book as I validate, which I
do most often, then I do what I've described above.

If there aren't too many, and they have scanned as
very small, I will make them raise them (format, file,
font).

You may want to wait to hear from Gerald or Jake,
though. smile

Welcome to our volunteer group. smile

Cindy
