Right, Quizzy. Too many publishers don't go back to Word.doc source material and think it's OK just to convert existing PDFs from which print was created. Sadly, though, there are occult flows in formatting that don't show in PDFs but which will elsewhere.

Your point, Omk, underlines the importance of re-proofing. The errors you mention are generated by conversion software. Any caring publisher should check editorially and make repairs where necessary. There is no excuse (or room) for shoddy presentation.

Hoots. Neil
