If you can contact the person who did the scanning, I tend to think that having the book as complete as possible is best. While the table contents summarized in the text may be fine for most readers, for someone really studying the subject, having the full information could be useful.

If you give the book title and page (and ISBN if possible) maybe one of us sighted volunteers can get you the tables.

However, if none of this works, I don't think this is enough of a flaw to keep the book out of the system. Just put in your comment and forge on.

Hi, Folks,
I did check the manual for an answer to this question, but could not find what I need. I am proofreading a book which contains two tables. I am using Word 2003 to proofread. Normally, a table will be identified as such when reading in Word. These tables are not identified that way so I am sure they were not created using the table feature in Word. Also, the material in the tables did not scan well; however, from what I can tell, the tables summarize material presented verbally in the text. So, is it necessary for me to contact the submitter to ask that she e-mail appropriately formatted tables, or may I delete the material from the text and add a reader note stating that the material appears in the text? Or are there other steps I should follow?
Thanks.
Lori C.
