Here’s the specs on the color …

C = 0 M = 0 Y = 60 K = 0

I thought that would be alright, but spot color for a logo or text is bad?

I’ll try “simulate overprint.”

That did the trick!

“Someone” was me, since I’m the only one using this computer. Although I’m wondering if I checked it by accident. Bringing in Illustrator graphics with white backgrounds wouldn’t (and didn’t) help at all.

John, understood that most poets want a full line of space. Unfortunately, THIS poet “layed out” the entire books as he wanted it in Microsoft Word. Not to a correct publishing size, and guess how he separated one poem on one page from another: He didn’t use “page break,” but instead opted to hit the return key a random number of times until it looked “good.” That’s just the first problem :-(

Well, more time was spent worrying worrying about this than actually fixing it. Following David’s advice …

Just one minute ago, I copied and pasted that code under the “GREP” window. Using F/C, I replaced all single quotes with characters on each side (such as apostrophe S) with the copyright symbol ( © ). I chose the copyright symbol since I wanted something that didn’t appear ANYWHERE within the context of the novel. (The front matter and back matter are saved as separate InDesign files, then assembled using the “BOOK” feature.)

I replaced all remaining single quotes with double quotes, then re-replaced the copyright symbol © with single quotes. So, far so good. This was a huge time-saver … especially since the lead character’s name is O’Brien. (phew!)

Now, of course, I’ll proofread the novel from beginning to end, but I don’t anticipate many problems from here onward …

Thanks for your help!

I’m the publisher and the designer. Since most copies will probably sell in the US, I figured it’s better to standardize the quote marks.

Holy cow … I apologize for cluttering up the board with duplicate questions. But I suppose for the last two years this wasn’t a problem :-)

Well, I’m not certain that’s the solution. The story title on the title page is on two separate lines. But the running header should be on one line.
