- Check out to edit the document from SharePoint.
- Do a full-proof. Look for:
- Logic/ambiguity/missing words
- Does the content follow the appropriate Model?
- Grammar
- Consistency
- Spacing between sentences
- Spelling
- Fact check (all proper nouns, names, numbers, technical terms, product names, etc.)
- Format onscreen.
- Check/set margins
- Check styles (pull correct styles in from scratch, if needed)
- Page through to check formatting (including that each page has a section break, all background images are correct, the copyright date is correct, etc.)
- Check headers to make sure that they are linked/unlinked correctly.
- Check footers to make sure that they are linked/unlinked correctly.
- Check pagination (set/adjust, where needed).
- Do globals
- Spell check, according to the spell check process (see the document for that).
- Update or add the code to the bottom of the last page (including date and version number: MM.DD.YY/DESIGNER INITIALS/da initials v.___)
- Designer initials should be CAPITALIZED.
- DA initials should be lowercase.
- Follow spacing and punctuation exactly as is on the above example.
- Insert comments with any questions for Designers.
- Lock the document by setting the editing restrictions to only allow tracked changes.
- Do not lock Prework. Only turn on Track Changes.
- Save the document.
- Check the document back in on SharePoint.
- Alert the Designer that the document has been proofed, and send along the new link to the document or folder location that the document is located.
