Reply To: Having GREP problems

Lindsey, we investigated this and it gets weirder. Some of the Greek glyphs show up perfectly fine in Word but the diacritics and accents get turned into the x-ed out boxes (as in glyph doesn’t exist) when they get converted to INDD/PDF. It appears to be something with the author’s use of multiple fonts and word processors over the years. Looks like I’m going to need to fix it manually in the proofread. The digital conversion company that tagged the book located about 95% of them. It’s up to me to proofread the rest–1,200 pages of it. By hand. Joy. I’ll send you a PDF sample page (it’s the closest I can get since our typesetter’s on vacation at the moment).

Looks like I can’t figure out how to privately message you. Do you know how to do that?
