>>Dear Volunteer list,
>>I was proofreading a book when I discovered that there was a line of text
>>followed by two blank lines and then another line of text which did not seem
>>to belong to the previous sentence. A page break followed the text. I
>>realized that the last text I saw was a note. Oddly, it began with a quote
>>whereas its reference further up on the page had a * at the end of a word.
>>After finding the sentence to which the note referred, I placed the note
>>after it so that the page flow would not be disrupted. A blank line was
>>inserted before and after the note. I also replaced the quote with a star.
>>Was the * meant to be some type of superscript that was not scanned
>>correctly? Remembering the recent discussion on the list and reading the
>>directions regarding footnotes in the scanning and proofreading manual, I did
>>not put begin note and end note in brackets. Was this correct? Or do I need
>>to put the whole text of the note, which is bolded, in brackets?
>>I am sorry for asking so many questions, and I hope that what I have written
>>makes sense.
