The editing is your job. Furthermore, more than one person may work on the job, Prepare the Lypescript as though the next person to read it will begin reading only atthe point of the mark you are making, rather than at the beginning, 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.

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—nerhane Chapter Four IMarking Paper Copy .
