Sounds like Robin is quite the slave driver! ;-) That WebWord sounds interesting. I'll have to check that out!ham1299https://www.blogger.com/profile/04571203527388227830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354915789972448915.post-73817871671401559002010-03-24T09:21:59.914-04:002010-03-24T09:21:59.914-04:00Robin never tells me anything.

She keeps me locked in an upstairs bedroom forcing me to write, and telling me I can leave when my legs are better.<br /><br />Melissa, here's something that can help you out. It is the best little computer utility I've ever found and it is completely free. It is called WebWord and you can find it at: http://download.cnet.com/WordWeb/3000-2279_4-10003201.html?part=dl-WordWeb&subj=dl&tag=button<br /><br />Ctrl/CMD + right click on any word, anywhere on your computer and it launches a dictionary and thesaurus. Great for checking to see if spell check picked the right word.Michael J.

Robin knows all about this. I just assumed that meant you knew! I'm sorry. I will begin the editing read ASAP - and I'm planning to focus on it (meaning read, edit, read, edit, and little else until it's finished) once I get started!ham1299https://www.blogger.com/profile/04571203527388227830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354915789972448915.post-68522916408515163342010-03-23T22:17:56.421-04:002010-03-23T22:17:56.421-04:00I have to thank the computer spellchecker.

I'll be the first to admit that much of proofing is a matter of personal preference. So much is open to interpretation, it's nuts. Plus, you have different schools of thought - AP style vs. Chicago style vs. ten other styles. It's crazy - and confusing, even for us editors! You just need to find an editor you like, one you agree with more than others, and you're good to go!ham1299https://www.blogger.com/profile/04571203527388227830noreply@blogger.com
