Scandinavian-Canadian Studies

The List of Illustrations, which comes immediately after the Table of Contents, was formatted using the same page-masters, since they're the same sort of thing, and neither has a page number. This layout allowed the content to make use of the page footer area where the page number appears in regular pages. The publisher says this is OK for the TOC but not for the Illustrations, so I've created a separate page-sequence for the Illustrations which prevents the text from intruding into the page-number area.

It took a while to figure out what was actually being requested. In the case of most of these adjustments, the amount of time required to make the adjustment has been trivial compared with the time required to clarify exactly what adjustment is required.

Post from Friday: moved it to correct blog.

This review should be the last going into volume 20. Meanwhile, RAB has done the initial markup of the French text, and I've made some initial fixes and generated a list of questions for JT about style and policy for all-French texts.

Entered author's proofing corrections, and added a whole slew of markup that had been omitted (quotes were not marked up).

Request from publisher to change font size in part of the document (done), and to change text width (not done, because it contradicts their previous instructions regarding margin width -- still waiting to hear if they've changed their specs, or made a mistake about the text width).

Fixed some markup issues in vol 20 texts, and added more bios and abstracts.

...for some of volume 20 texts. Lots more outstanding.

Most vol 20 articles were missing their front matter. That has been added, with the exception of some abstracts and bio info which is outstanding; wrote to JT to tell him what we still need.

Entered corrections for the Rudling review (rudling_1_20), and made a fix of my own.

Entered corrections to rudling_2_20.xml; some will need to be checked based on the original wp file, which I don't have (JT will send it). Found and fixed a wide range of different markup issues too, and passed some hints on to RAB for future reference.

In the last couple of days, we've gone back and forth a bit with the publisher, who was having trouble copy/pasting from the PDF into a Word document for the purpose of submitting information to ISBN. That's now solved; I had to copy-paste the entire text from the PDF into a word-processor and save it as Word, then send it. In the meantime, the cover image has been swapped with one of the colour plate illustrations, so we've had to amend a caption, and I've rebuilt the document and sent it to JT for submitting again.
