Ok 1. still working through the chapter, testing out all steps. But and adding images. (Using frames is a PITA!) 2. save to new file (do I accept or reject changes here?) I still regard myself as an apprentice proofreader, so am hesitant to actually accept or reject other's work. 3. download Kieran's work and "compare" that and look through his changes and comments as well.
4. Save that file to a new file and upload that. Gotta write notes to myself on workflow so I don't forget. Does these steps seem reasonable?
