We are proofreaders, not editors; if something in the text does not match the original page image, you should change the text so that it does match.

As a proofreader you are matching the image's content

compare the lines in the text to the lines in the image.

Don't rewrap lines. Leave the ends of lines where they are in the image

please put words that are broken across lines back together

Use a blank line before each paragraph

The goal of 'Smooth Reading' is to read the text attentively, as for pleasure, with just a little more attention than usual to punctuation, etc.

report any problem that disrupts the sense or the flow of the book

The way to report errors is by adding a comment of the form [**correction or query] immediately after the problem spot. Do not correct or change the problem, just note it in the above format.

Page Headers and Footers: Running headers/footers may include book title, author, chapter title, and/or page number. They will be at the very top or bottom of the page. Remove these, including the page numbers and any extra blank lines.

If a line ends in a hyphenated word, move the first part of the following line up to rejoin the word, then insert a line break at the end of the rejoined word.

It is reading for smoothness and sense, with an eye out for anything that would jar or jolt an average reader.

the concept is to preserve what the author wrote
