Is it correct? Is it easy to understand? Could it be done better - for example by using lists or tables instead of plain text? Would additional or different illustrations be appropriate? Has anything been missed out that ought to be in there? A proofreader looks for spelling and grammatical mistakes, smooth flow of the language without unnecessary repetition, illustrations that show what they're described as showing, correct numbering in lists, correct cross-references, and so on. A reviewer needs technical knowledge; a proofreader needs linguistic fluency. -- H Russman -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
