The first step in your workflow is to choose a title to work on. You will find this in the RT NNELS Production Queque.

NNELS uses open-source software called RT (Request Tracker) to manage requests for books. The books you will working for will be in the NNELS Production Queque. As mentioned in the Job Expectations section, there are 4 levels of tickets. In the Production Queque you will mainly see:

• Urgent
• High
• Medium

Always take the Urgent tickets first. Never have more than three tickets at a time when working to ensure you do not get overwhelmed with work, and to ensure there is a fair distribution of titles for the other PA's.

After you take ownership of the ticket for your selected title in RT, you can download the documents for production from CyberDuck.

See Using RT the complete directions for taking a ticket, uploading/downloading to CyberDuck, and assigning a ticket back to the Production Coordinator.

This section will explain the basic workflow of reformatting a book.

The first step is to set up Microsoft Word for production.

You will first set up the layout of Word, and then set the document priorities.

Here is a brief tutorial to show you how to do this.

See Setting up Microsoft Word for Editing E-Text for detailed written instructions.

Once you have Word set up properly, and you NNELS Template properly installed, you will be able to begin reformatting the document.

The first step is to clear all formatting in the document:

• Select all of the text
  • COMMAND+A for Mac
  • CTRL+A for Windows PC

Once formatting is clear you need to remove all hyperlinks:

• Select the whole document
• Clear hyperlink:
  • FN+COMMAND+SHIFT+F9 for Mac
  • CTRL+SHIFT+F9 for PC

Now you can start applying styles as needed. See the Styles & Headings section for more info on why we use them!

The Books Sections of the eText wiki show you how to format each section of a standard book.

The rest of the wiki is divided up for your convenience. If anything is missing, or unclear, post a question in the Q&A section!

Below is a breakdown of some of the main sections you will be using in your work.

The Formatting section shows you how to tackle most reformatting tasks.

The Finding & Fixing Issues and Errors section shows you how to use Regex and Find and Replace.

The Kinds of Books section goes over specific genres of books that require different formatting.

The Reference Centre includes a list of external links for further education and reading.
