Production specialists are taught to type what they see rather than to do global edits. The
editing is your job. Furthermore, more than one person may work on the job, Prepare the

Mark each heading to identify whether it isa level one, two, or three heading, and mark.
other types of text as well. In Figure 4.1, all the specific directions for type are written out,
including the name of the typeface and its size, line length, and justification directions (1
Aush left, RR = ragged right), In Figure 4.3, on page 54, you will see a more efficent way tO
mark: each type of text is identified by an abbreviation (auch as HI fora levelone heading)
The second type of marking requires that you provide the specifications for the type to the
production specialist. f paragraph indentions are not cleat in the typescript, mark each,
change. Marking is especially important with spacing and graphic design marks if the de-
Sign itself includes variations, Some designers, for example, indent all paragraphs except
{those that follow headings. You would check all paragraph indentions and mark any places
‘Where the pattern varies. You don’t have to mark the ones that are typed correctly.
{mn Figure 44, the marginal line from the text specifications ta the bottom of the exemple
indicates that those type specifications apply to all the text identified by the line. Itanother
heading appears, it will have to be marked again as will the body text. The need to mark
tach instance of text for graphic design explains why editors prefer to define type specifier,
tions for each type of text (heading 1, heading 2, body fext, Bulleted list, and so forth) and
then mark each section with a label (Such as FIT) rather than with all he directions for ty=
ography and spacing, (See Chapter 5 for more information on “structural” markup.)
Distinguishing Marginal Notes from Text Emendations
Marginal notes may be necessary to clarify your marks on the text. For example, if you want
an esjual sign but the marked text looks just like a hyphen with an underscore, you could
‘write “equal sign” in the margin, But you don’t want the production specialist to type “equal
‘ign’ into the fext So you distinguish instructions from text insertions by cicling the instruc
tons. Ifyou need to include marginal messages to both writer and production specialist, you
inay distinguish these by using different colors of peneil for each category of message Or
you may preface the note with a label identifying the audience for the messace—nerhaneChapter Four IMarking Paper Copy .

Special Problems of Markup
‘Though the markup symbols will be clear in most situations, marks or leters that could be
interpreted in different ways require clarifying information. You may need to insert addi-

dashes, clarifying ambiguous letters and symbols or unusual spellings, and when markingD “eeucets Lead algo,
