This is an old revision of the document!
If we insert notes correctly in Word, they will be converted nicely to DAISY XML. Accessible reading systems will be able to identify them as notes and readers can choose to ignore or skip over the notes, if they choose, so that the narrative flow is not interrupted.
If your book has notes, insert them as follows regardless of how they appear in the original source.
Insert
in the menu bar (MS Office 2010 Word: Under the References
tab, click the button for the pop-out menu in the Footnotes
area. This will open the dialog window shown below.) Footnotes
endnotes
and be placed at end of document
and be continuous
. COMMAND + Option + E
, and MS Office Word 2010 uses ALT + CTRL + D
. For more information about using and customizing keyboard shortcuts, click here.
When a Word document becomes a DAISY book, all notes will automatically convert to endnotes at the end of the document with continual numbering, regardless of how they are formatted in the Word document. For example, if you insert endnotes at the end of every chapter and the note numbering restarts every chapter in the Word document, the conversion process will move all of these notes to the end of the book and use continual numbering.
To decrease the errors encountered during DAISY conversion and playback, we ensure our e-text version of the book follows the DAISY format for notes (as in the instructions above).
Do not apply any additional formatting to the notes as this may cause issues with conversion to XML.
