Proofreading
Proofreading occurs after layout on material in final format to eliminate errors in textual and visual elements before printing, publishing, or distribution. It includes checking for:
- Minor mechanical errors, such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, hyphenation, or deviations from style sheet
- Removal of repeated words, phrases, or paragraphs
- Correction of any corrupted characters, sometimes created by copying or converting from one software program to another
- Consistent styling of fonts, running heads, colors, web page heading tags, hyperlinks, metadata, cross-references, etc.
- Consistent and accurate design elements, such as leading, kerning, line breaks, paragraph indentations, margins, and line spacing
- Placement of and captions for photographs and graphics
- Corresponding contents and page numbers
- Juxtaposition of text and images on the same page
