*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."

Bold(face): Highlights type as is darker/heavier - to stand out.  Other "attention getters" include ALL CAPS, Italic, Underline (should not be used in webpages), Call-out, etc.  Use attention getters sparingly.

Terms marked with an asterisk (*) are not generally used in our office.
