Rolph,
In 4.2 C.3, items 4A and B, Proofing the Back Matter it says, the manual says:
B. Do I proof this particular section in the Back Matter? Here's a
general guideline:
- If any one section in the Back Matter is 3 pages or less, please proof it.
- If any one section in the Back Matter is longer than 3 pages,
proofing that section is optional.
Three things make the proofing of any long section in the Back Matter
(such as an Index) less desirable:
1. Time,
2. Modern search functions now find things very quickly, on web pages
and other documents, and
3. The explosion of information available on the internet (via
Google, Wikipedia, etc.).
So I go with the others--scan it but, if it is too time consuming or
difficult for you and is longer than 3 pages, leave it unproofed with
a note that you've done so.
