I'd welcome any tips on proofreading from the experts here.
I'm correcting a text version of a PDF scan at the moment, so loads of errors to spot.
Setting the font to Courier New is helping, because I find individual letters are easier to discern with a monospace font.
Each time I spot a typo I do a global 'search and replace' to correct all occurrences (checking each one before amending).
Afterwards I'll do searches for spaces where they shouldn't be, a spell check run, search for common mistakes (e.g. 'hut' instead of 'but') etc.
But that's pretty basic stuff - anyone know any more sophisticated tips?
