-**Q: Instead of using captions, my book has numbered linked text (like endnotes) to a Credits section at the end of the book Should cut and paste the credits and use them for captions?  Should I keep the Credits section or remove it? UPDATESome pictures do have captionssome just the numbered credit link, others have both.**+Q: Okay this is so crazy. I know I'm not supposed to edit the book. But is there any way to let the publisher know? I am working on Iconic Stories from 150 Years of Sport, and on page  
 +214 while writing alt-text and reading the captions, I noticed that the captions were wrong for each image after the first. I went to the original book to see if I mixed them up somehow, and I didn't! The last caption for that set of photos should be the second caption, and all other captions should be for the photo below it (idk if that made sense). Is this just basically out of our handsIt just won't make sense, when the ereader reads the caption, it won't match up with the alt-text. It'll be pretty jarring for several images!

 +AThat is not good for anyone! As this is a special project for a publisherwe can directly contact them. I am in the process of getting in touch with the publisher to see how they wish us to proceed. I will keep you posted. 
  
-AI think that's a great approach - instead of the caption linking to the credit text at the back of the book, just use that credit text as the caption itself (using Insert Caption). We can prefix the caption with **Credit:** [insert credit text]. Then we can remove the Credits section as you suggested. +[[public:nnels:etext:start|Return to main eText Page]]
