Glad you got that straightened out. If you hadn't, I was going to
suggest dumping all the notes to a separate file (there are a dozen
pms that do this: one in U2, I wrote one years ago for the Met. Mus.
of Art, Leslie Bialler had one for Columbia UP), then Merging that
file where you wanted it, before converting the whole thing to Weird.


Thanks, Patricia. I figured one of the editors on the list would
weigh in. Converting XY chapters into one MSWord document took a bit
of time and offered a few lessons. First, it's a lot easier if you
strip off the headers before you convert and create them afresh in
MSWord, in conjunction with the Page Layout settings that are also
necessary. Once you get the idea of thinking in "sections," instead
of chapters, things are easier to understand. Some of the diacritics
didn't convert -- macrons, for example. But that was okay. Forced us
to double check the Romanji, which the publisher's copy editor surely
won't do. And it was easy to edit the endnotes in Word, the best
thing I can say about using it this time around. Next manuscript,
we're going to covert as we go, a chapter at a time.
