What's It Mean?
///////////////////////////////

Bleed: A printed image that extends beyond the trim edge of a sheet of paper.

*Blueline: For Gregath use, see ARC.  Below is a definition from "The What Shall I Write Handbook", Corrine Russell, 1992, that is a good addition to our ARC entry:

"Bluelines are page proofs. They represent your last chance to review copy looking for errors.  Depending on the printing process your printer uses, bluelines may be expensive to produce, and many printers will not provide them unless you request them.  If printers do provide them, they may be expensive, so ask first.  Bluelines may be a good idea if you have a lot of photographs, for bluelines present your only opportunity to see photographs in place.  Check them carefully.  Make sure they are in the correct position, and that they are not upside down or turned backward.  Because bluelines are so expensive to produce, now is the time to start editing and proofreading. Unless they are printer's errors, changes made at this point cost you dearly."

Book Block: Endpapers, text block and all other materials before hard or soft binding.

* refers to a term not actively used at Gregath Publishing

Design Inspiration - Specific suggestions while deciding index entry/item framework:
///////////////////////////////

• Footnotes are generally not indexed, however, if they contain new names an every name index can include entries such as Floyd, Mary 4, 11 n, 50 (page 11 will be found in the footnote material).

Computer aid!?! 
///////////////////////////////

Always having trouble with your computer? Have you checked to see if there is a computer support group you can join locally? Our society has lots of different groups for lots of different interests and to solve problems. If there is not one in your area, look at banding together friends and family who have difficulties and successes. Not everyone will have the same problems, or the same successes. While you may always be asking your group questions, you might find yourself the "go to" person for general problems in a program you always work in.
