Where should I mark the answers to copy-editing queries?
Please follow the guidance given by the person sending the queries to you. If they send queries in a tabulated format there will usually be a ‘Comments’ or ‘Remarks’ column for you to use to give your responses. If you are reviewing a Word-tracked document, your version of Word will provide help in how to view comments and highlighted queries, how to respond to those comments and how to accept or reject the editor’s comments/changes. It’s most helpful if you can use the Word functions rather than typing a separate list of comments. If you are really stuck, your production supplier will be pleased to help you.
