Errata

I noticed that some already submitted this as an error i.e, upper-right v upper-left, but if you look at page 480 & 481 the two graphics of the help screen show the button in the upper-left.

Apparently, different pages/windows can have it on the left and most or some have it on the right.

NOTE; my laptop has this text so small I can't read what I'm typing. HOPE YOU CAN GET MY DRIFT.

Sentence states "In the upper-right corner you see some document-proofing tools....". The document
proofing tools are actually in the upper-left corner. I am using a trial version of Microsoft Office Word
2007 so I guess it could be different for the complete version.

The paragraph beginning "After the Word Options dialog box opens, scroll down to the Save group, and turn
on the "Always create..." This is not quite correct. After the Word Options dialog box, you then need to
pick the Advanced group, and then scroll down to the Save heading.

Directions to change the setting "Always create backup copy" left out one step.

Printed as, "After the Word Options dialog box opens, scroll down to the Save group,"

It should state, "After the Word Options dialog box opens, click Advanced, scroll down to the Save group, and turn on the "Always Create backup copy' checkbox.

Under "Mirror margins," you state: "This setting makes outside and inside margins identical." This is either meaningless or misleading. Please replace that sentence with something like: "This setting lets you set up independent widths for outside and inside margins."

When explaining about ROUGE score the author stated that ROUGE-L is based on "Longest common substring" but it is "Longest common subsequence".

In the text, the reference "at the document window's lower-right corner" should be "... lower-left corner".
The caption to Figure 6-20 itself, however, is correct.

You write "Typically, the page that holds the most important information about an entry gets bold formatting, and page ranges get italics, but Word will do whatever you tell it."

Based on the hundreds of professionally produced indexes that I have used over the last 50 years or so, italicizing page ranges would be totally atypical. That is, I have never seen it done that I can remember.

However, I have very often seen italics used to indicate pages on which special material--most often, illustrations--appear.

I therefore suggest breaking and revising the sentence above into three:

"If there are many places where an entry is indexed, the most important pages or ranges may be boldfaced. To indicate pages that contain special material, such as illustrations or tables, typically italics are used. Word will do whatever you tell it, but you may want to include a note at the beginning of the index explaining what your special formatting means."

Step 1 says "For the master document, create a new file with Office button -> New -> Blank Document, and then save it (Office button -> Save).

The next sentence then says "It's a good idea to give it a name that identifies it as the master document, like....."

Clicking Office -> Save as Step 1 directs saves the new document as "Document 1," so if I want to save it with a specific name as the sentence after Step 1 suggests, I need to use Save As, not Save.

Subheading 3. should have a reference to Figure 10-15.

Subheading 3. should have a reference to Figure 10-15.

Would it no be more logical to say "... you see both the original image and ...", rather than "... the full-sized image ..."? After all, you might want to increase its size, too.
