 +Q: On the Publishing Information page of "All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way," there is a photo credit with a link to a page in the photos section.
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:allinthefamilylink.png?400 |}}
 +The problem is that in the ebook, the photos section doesn't have any page numbers. I checked the file on Sigil and found that the link leads to the photo marked as "ins16" though?
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:allinthefamilylink1.png?400 |}}
 +Not sure what to do about that in terms of formatting. Should I insert a bookmark or something to try and add the link back in, or should I just remove the link?
 +
 +----
 +Q: In Chapter 17 of "All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way" there's some lines of dialogue that looks like this
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:allinthefamilydialogue.png?400 |}}
 +I'm wondering if this would be something I should format like dialogue in a play

 +Q: Maangchi's Korean Cooking Ingredients
 +
 +In Maangchi's Korean Cooking Cookbook, some recipes have ingredients that are split up by their components, such as the recipe for Bibimbap below.
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:ingredients.jpg?direct&400 |}}
 +If the heading "Ingredients" is Heading 3, would I put each component, such as "for the beef" as Heading 4? Or would I leave it as Normal style?
 +----
 +Q: Maangchi's Korean Cooking Links
 +
 +In Maangchi's Korean Cooking Cookbook, often there are links that link to other recipes with the book. For example, in the Soybean Sprout Rice recipe, in the ingredients list it links to the recipe for Spicy Soy Seasoning Sauce (In orange text in the photo below).
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:links.jpg?direct&400 |}}
 +After the Word conversion, many of these links don't work. I just wanted to double check with you, should I replace them with the correct link within the book or should I remove the hyperlink entirely?
 +
 +A: remove the link and replace with the following: (Go to Name of Recipe for Recipe).

 +Q: I’m having some trouble with a table in the Index to Charts in the NKJV Life Application Study Bible…
 +In the ebook, the table is 9 rows and 2 columns. However, the header row is incomplete and I couldn’t figure out a way to complete it in that orientation, so I switched the orientation. However, now there are so many columns that they are very narrow, and there is so much text in cell that they become very long with broken-up words. How can I fix this? Could I turn it into two lists, with each journey as a subheading to title the lists? Or something else?
 +
 +In the ebook:
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:wide_table_ebook.jpg?300 |}}
 +
 +In my word doc:
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:wide_table_word_doc.jpg?500 |}}
 +
 +A: No need to flip it, you just have to put a word in the header row for the far let column. It could be something as simple as ''Item'' or ''Information''
 +
 +
 +----
 +Q: In the Index to Charts in the NKJV Life Application Study Bible there is a chart that I have no idea what it’s trying to get at so I’m not sure if it should be lists or a table or what. Text is bordered by horizontal lines as though what’s inside is related, but within the lines, the text being compared uses different parts of speech so the text can’t really be compared. What do you suggest? So far this section is all fairly clearly tables and lists, so maybe I'm not thinking creatively enough.
 +
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:gods_or_idols.jpg?300 |}}
 +
 +A: A table would work. The bolded words/phrases are the same for each section, so you can use those as the heading row.
 +
 +
 +----
 +Q: In Chapter 4 of "Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory" there's a quote with a word emphasized in it! Should I use the emphasis style or the quote style in this case?
 +
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:anchoredquoteemphasis.png?400 |}}
 +
 +A: Just apply Quote style.
 +
 +----
 +Q: Just want to clarify the answer to my last question about page numbers in "Anchored." Does that mean I shouldn't move any of the book sections around, but I that should change page numbers so that everything appears in order without skipping any numbers?
 +
 +A: You will not move anything around if you are inserting Endnotes, as endnotes always go to the end of the document. You would be removing the original endnote section. Please review the [[public:nnels:etext:notes|Notes wiki page]] for more.
 +
 +----
 +Q: I am putting in page numbers into "Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory" and I have a couple of questions about it.
 +
 +1. What should I do about page numbers in the endnotes section? The notes aren't even the last section of the book, so I'm not sure if I can just skip them.
 +
 +A: When you reinsert endnotes, they will be moved to the back of the book. We also do not insert page numbers into the endnotes section. Put in a Producers note stating the endnotes have been moved to the back of the book, and the final pages (mention number of pages and section names) have updated page numbers that do not match the source. It is only a handful of pages for the backmatter, so it wont be a big issue for the reader.
 +
 +2. Some of the page numbers that are numbered with roman numerals appear a bit out of order? For example, the "Dedication" section is on "page vi" and it appears right after the title page. But the "Also by the Author" section is on "page ii" and it appears near the end of the book, after the endnotes section. Is this ok or should I move the sections so they appear in the right order according to the page numbers?
 +
 +A: Answer to your first question should solve this problem, but please let me know if this persists.
 +
 +----
 +Q: There are parts of "Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory" that weirdly quotes itself? The example below is from Chapter 2 and it blockquotes the same sentence that came immediately before it for some reason. What should I do with these self-referencial blockquotes?
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:anchoredquotes.png?400 |}}
 +
 +A: We are not editors, so we have to keep it like the original. I can only assume the author is trying to double down on the idea.
 +
 +----
 +Q: In "Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory" there's a few instances where the author uses a bunch of underscores to write in some blanks (example screenshot is from chapter 4). I figure this wouldn't be very nice to listen to on a screenreader. Should I replace these with something like "[blank]" instead?
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:anchoredblanks.png?400 |}}
 +
 +A: You are correct!
 +
 +----
 +Q: Missing Unicode for Symbol in Hollow Bamboo
 +
 +In Hollow Bamboo at the very beginning, they define a word as seen in the image below:
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:defintion.jpg?400 |}}
 +In the Word doc, the double O with a bar over it is an image, and I can't seem to find a unicode character for it. Should I replace it as ōō? Or would it need its own alt-text description?
 +
 +A: There is unicode for a single o with a line above it, you could do two in a row. I would also try a google search to see if any other unicode repositories have what you are looking for (unless you already did that, and if you did ignore this part!)
 +----
 +
 +Q: Me and the NKJV again!
 +
 +In the section “Reference Materials” are subsections including “Abbreviations Used in the Master Index” and “Master Index.” All of the abbreviations listed in the Abbreviations section are for titles of Bible Books listed, as described in the subsection title, in the Master Index. These abbreviations are similar to abbreviations in previous sections which I replaced with the full name of the Book being referenced (e.g. Exod became Exodus). (Those were all in footnotes and cross references). Should I continue to spell out the abbreviations in these two new subsections? If I do, then should I cut the Abbreviations subsection, since the abbreviations aren’t being used in the Master Index subsection? Or, should I just leave the abbreviations in one or both subsections?
 +
 +(Whoa, I just used the Read Aloud function in Word to ensure this made sense and it actually read “Exod” as “Exodus!” Getting smarter all the time… at some things…)
 +
 +A: Remove the Abbreviation section and put in a Prod Note that the beginning of the book that all abbreviations have been replaces with their full word counterpart for accessibility standards.
 +
 +----
 +Q: Two questions about a new section in NKJV Life Application Bible.
 +
 +Q1: Structuring.
 +
 +Under Reference Materials (H1), is the subsection, A Christian Worker’s Resource (H2). From here, I’m working on the subsubsection How to Become a Christian (H3). A screenshot of the first few pages follows.
 +
 +What do you think about how I’ve formatted it so far?:
 +
 +  * How to Become a Christian (H3)
 +  * Fact:… (H4)
 +  * Setup:… (body text)
 +  * God created you (unordered list, first level)
 +  * Psalm 139:13-16 (unordered list, second level – or maybe as a quote? See next question about formatting these quotes)
 +  * God knew you before… (unordered list, second level)
 +  * God wants to have a personal relationship with you (unordered list, first level)
 +
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:headlistcite.jpg?600 |}}
 +
 +Q2: In this section, the quotes and citations in reverse order from what one would typically see in a book. That is, the citation precedes the quote. Can I leave as is or should I reverse them? This example is from the same section as the previous question, just a bit later.
 +
 +{{ :public:nnels:etext:citationquoteorder.jpg?400 |}}
 +
 +A: A list does not work when you are dealing with paragraphs, citations and quotes, as these are not a list. Do the heading structure as follows:
 +  * Reference Materials (H1)
 +     * A Christian Worker’s Resource (H2)
 +        * How to Become a Christian (H3)
 +           * Fact (H4)
 +           * Setup (H4)
 +              * God created you (H5)
 +              * Pslam Citation and Quote
 +              * Body Text for Paragraph after Quote
 +              * God wants to have a personal relationship with you (H5)
 +              * Repeat as above
 +
 +No need to revert the citation and quote.

 {{ :public:nnels:etext:noparabreaktables.jpg?800 |}} {{ :public:nnels:etext:noparabreaktables.jpg?800 |}}
 +
 +A: Add a caption to each table with a title.
