I can't remember what I've done in the past but I think I kept the sentence
complete and moved the captioned image below or it ,If you can find
something I've proofed, like Medals of Honor or the book about the jazz
trumpeter (Miles davis?) you'll find examples (I might have put them at the
end of the book;, with the appropriate page number on which they appeared
I think I did that with the Mils Davis book but that's because there were
so many of them; I think in the other book, and maybe in Timmy's in the
Well or the Christmas book about a gift did for Larry (I can't remember
the title, not being as young as he

Not sure of whether it is correct, Evan, but I always rearrange mine where
it reads better with speech and/or braille. Sure do hope that’s okay! Good
luck with it!

Hey Guys,
I’m about to start reading this book that I’m very much looking forward to
and then submitting, but I have a question.
There are a few dozen figures in it that have numbered captions. The
problem is that they break up the text, usually in the middle of a
sentence. Now if the broken text is on the same page, I would merely move
the text to one side of the figure or the other to form a complete
sentence. However, with most of these figures, the text is broken up across
pages. The figure is either at the top or bottom of a page, and the text
usually picks up again in the middle of a sentence. So you either have text
interrupted in the middle of a sentence, then an image caption, then the
text picks up on the next page in the middle of a sentence; or, you have
the text ending in the middle of a sentence, then an image caption at the
top of the next page, then the sentence picks up again.
I’m wondering if I should leave this as it is, or move text from one page
to another to form a complete sentence, then the image caption.
The same thing happens with footnotes at the bottoms of pages, and I
forget what we decided about that, but I presume whatever the decision was
about those would apply to image captions as well.
For sighted readers this is not an issue, but for voice and braille
readers, it is inconvenient, if not downright irritating to have text
interrupted like that, but of course, I will follow whatever the policy is.
Thanks much.
Evan
