Dear Mayrie and Sue,
You seem to be two of most active people on this list and very
detailed. I thank you for that <smile>. Maybe you could help me it's
first time proof reading a book and how would upload the edited copy?
Also, is just me or does the OCR programs put and in caps a lot. My
crammer check is going a lot which does not seem right for book, do
you think it's a mix or OCR mistakes? I'm not sure because I don't
have copy in front of me is what you normally do or do just fix it so
it sounds right. Thanks again to ALL our volunteers. One requested, if
your using gmail, can u set a different color and size. Also it would
be great if you did large in black, I can't really read bright things.
I've been having to copy everything to word to change font size and
color. Thank you if your willing to do this, if not I understand.
Thanks again,
Nadia
