Hi Melissa,
When VAT did some experiments with table formatting several months back,
blank cells showed up as exactly that, blank cells. My opinion is that if
your book has a dot in the blank cells, I'd leave them that way, and include
a proofreader's note before the table explaining that this is what has been
done. Just my opinion though. That way, you're as close to the hard copy
of the book as possible.
Happy proofreading!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question
I'm working on a book that contains a table. I've formatted using Word's
table feature, and the formatting worked out well. Now for my question.
Three of the columns have cells that are either blank, or have a dot in
them. This is to mark whether or not the item in that row does or does not
do the particular thing in that column. In the blank cells, I was thinking
of putting [blank cell], but wasn't sure what to put in the cells that have
dots. Right now they contain periods. should I put [this cell contains a
dot], or should I leave the period or use an x or something else? All ideas
are welcome, and I hope my explanation was clear.
Thanks,
