21 October 2013 Dear Andy Todd, I've carefully considered the Libguide, have developed a standardized style sheet

to guide decisions, and have applied that format to Exercise B, Parts 1 and 2 as well as the Sidebar on the same page. An edited copy of Exercise B with in-text comments is attached. I believe that the editorial decisions support the message of the Libguide by establishing and maintaining consistent typography, punctuation and style throughout the document. Ive attempted to sharpen your excellent content for the end-user by making commands, typing instructions, and work-process directions consistent in terms of font and style. Along the way, I have suggested a number of style conventions that could be adopted. You can find these comments within the document by clicking the Review tab. Some of my alterations are to align the Libguide with the UCF style guide and others reflect my personal preference. With that being said, understand that no significant content or format changes have been instituted. All the alterations have been of the window-dressing variety. In short, the changes have been as follows: a few graphic elements have been changed or repurposed: the billiard ball graphic was eliminated for consistency throughout the document the light bulb icon was used whenever parenthetical information was offered all screen shots have been moved inline with the text, placed so that they follow the instructions they refer to, slightly indented, and sized appropriately so as to not overwhelm the page hints, suggestions, and notes are set apart from the text, in a single light blue and italicized font as in the original document, and indicated with the light bulb icon questions and multiple choice answers are likewise separated from the instructions, enclosed within a 1 point text box, and distinguished from directions with sufficient white space.

It has been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to a successful and mutually satisfactory completion of the project. Kind Regards, Christopher Bates
