Basic Editing Functions
Tracking Changes
TNTEdit provides easy access to Word®'s Track Changes function to
mark editorial changes. With a simple to use VIEW button, the template
allows you to choose whether to view these changes on screen and whether
to show them in the edited printout (deletions with a line through them,
insertions with shading behind them).
Modified versions of Cut, Copy, and Paste functions allow the editor
to preserve tracked changes when moving blocks of text.
Author Queries (AQs) and Editor's
Notes (ENs)
These are the electronic equivalent to query tags and marginal notes.
With a single keystroke you can attach a query to the author or a note
to yourself (or a colleague) at any point in the document, including within
embedded notes. (Word's Comments can be attached only to regular text.)
Once you've created a query or note, it can be edited just like regular
text. You can choose to
- view or hide AQs and ENs onscreen
- print either, both, or none on the page with the text
- pull out and print queries, keyed to ID numbers and page numbers,
in a separate document for the author's review
It's been our experience that authors respond much more carefully and
thoroughly to queries printed in a separate list than to query flags or
to questions scribbled in margins or printed as footnotes to the text.
Having all the queries in one place makes cleanup easier, too.
