Book description
The On-screen Editing Handbook is a practical guide
to the process of making changes to text-based documents using Word.
This handbook explains some of the useful and time-saving features of
Word, such as applying styles, editing with track changes, applying footnotes,
endnotes, sections and page breaks. It is not only authors who are now
expected to supply manuscripts prepared on a computer. Editors (both
in-house and freelance) who can edit on-screen and understand the importance
of producing well-formatted documents are highly sought after by publishers.
When it is done well, editing on-screen can greatly streamline the editorial
process by saving time spent consulting with authors over changes, and
by making the process of design and typesetting more efficient. Although
aimed primarily at writers and editors working on either their own or
other people's words, it is also applicable more generally to people
who work with text-based documents on a regular basis. For other readers,
the Word features covered and techniques outlined in this book are applicable
on a day-to-day basis. [Tertiary Press]
