There's usually a line space before the text, but I can see that it might be 
eliminated. Would another bracket be sufficient, i.e., the whole caption be 
enclosed in brackets, as well as the word caption, or would the words end of 
caption be preferable?
 DItto phoro descriptions? I'm proofing now a book that has so many different 
headings on each page, that i'm getting confused, and I have decided that 
rather than doing what I'm doing now, i.e., proofing eacxh page and then going 
on to the next, I'm gong to go through all the pages and put the vaarious 
hadings into the various fonts, bold, caps, etcx., required, and also redo the 
phoot descriptions, then go back and resume proofing the pages' texts, so I can 
now put "end of description" bvefore the lines tha follow the photo, if you 
like.

Hi Melissa!

I think it would be helpful to know when a caption or sidebar ends too.  Just 
write those messages between brackets as you would any other type of scanner or 
proofer's message.
