Project 3

For this project, you'll continue to work with editing and styling electronic text. You will

(1) make editorial changes directly in the text (replace, insert, etc.);

(2) use track changes to mark corrections and for changes in spacing and typography (deletion of unnecessary lines, extra spaces after periods, conversion of double hyphens to em dashes, etc.);

(3) use comments to query;

(4) use typographers’ symbols: em dash, not 2 hyphens (ctrl-alt-minus sign on number pad); en dash (ctrl-minus sign); “curly” or “smart” quote marks; one space, not two, after periods; remove extra paragraph spaces;

(5) create and apply styles electronically to the text.
