Good question. Page numbers can be moved from bottom of page to top by
the coverter? is it to top left? I no longer have to do it myself? I
probably will, though, because it maks it easer for me to double-check
the pagination before checking in the book

When did it change that section breaks don't need to be changed to
page breaks? Last I'd heard a book was rejected if it was uploaded
to the approval queue with section breaks instead of page breaks.
It would be incredibly helpful if us volunteers had a current list
of what the conversion tool can handle. smile. We've been told,
for example, that it can convert:
m-dashes
tabs to a blank space
strip extra blank lines
move page numbers from bottom of page to top of page
apparently section breaks get converted to page breaks
What else?

Hi Jim,
Illustrations should be removed. We unfortunately cannot
process books with images at this time, though it is something
we are working towards. You should delete them. If any have
captions included in the image itself, the captions should be
retyped and placed in brackets.
Section breaks are fine, and our converter handles them
exactly the same as page breaks. You do not need to worry
about converting them to page breaks.
Please let me know if you still have questions about this
book. To post to the discussion list, simply send an email to

As for Poet, we are currently not giving out book ID numbers
to individuals. We're actually restructuring the volunteer
process at the moment in order to get entire books completed
with the highest quality image descriptions. Right now we're
only working with groups of people, but I'll let you know when
we've figured how to manage the individual volunteers and
their work. I apologize that this is taking so long. We are
working hard to make sure that this new structure is the most
productive and sustainable, so it is taking some time to hash
that out.
Best,
Madeleine

Subject: More Questions about proofreading.
Hello again. I hope I'm not seeming too out of touch. I have
started looking at a book to proof read.
I decided, since I don't have any pre-ordained preferences, to
work on the books which have been on the list the longest.
The book I chose was:
Dental Computing and Applications: Advanced Techniques for
Clinical Dentistry
By Andriani Daskalaki.
Two items popped out immediately.
First, in general , I noticed, since Word 2003 initially
brings the book up in Print view, that there are a large
number of illustrations, mostly drawings and photos in this
case. My first question is how do I handle these? The
drawings don't show in 'normal' mode, but the captions
generally do.
Second, the book has no page breaks, only various section breaks.
Near the top of the book is this sequence:
-----------------------
Section break (Next Page)
6 lines of text
Column break
Multiple lines of text one letter at a time
Section break (continuous)
--------
If I look at it in print mode, the 6 lines of text is a column
and the multiple lines of text resolve themselves into a
second column aligned with the 6 lines.
When I change the section breaks to page breaks and remove the
column break and try to re-arrange the text from the two
columns, I can't save the document successfully. Word gives
me a warning about breaking up columns and the resulting saved
document is corrupt.
Does this make the book rejectable?
Should I put this question out the the discussion group? How
exactly do I
do that? I've been getting the digest, but I'm not sure how
to submit.
Also, I still do not see anything on the POET website which
allows me to find books to work on.
