One-inch margins are standard, but differences in margin widths will depend on the assignment requirements. Margins create space around the edge and help draw attention to the content. Just as frame creates a border around a painting, highlighting part of the image while hiding the margins, the frame of a page influences how information is received. Do you need to insert a word, delete a word, capitalize a letter, or start a new paragraph? There are specific symbols for each of these actions because the review and revision process has common and consistent elements that need to be addressed.įraming refers to how information is presented, including margins, line justifications, and template expectations. Even if you never use the symbols in a document, your awareness of them-and the points of emphasis under review-will serve you well. It is useful to be familiar with the various proofreading marks that were traditionally used to review and revise hard copy documents. Some of today’s word processing programs incorporate many proofreading symbols in their menus. Professional proofreaders often use standard markings that serve to indicate where changes needed to be made on a physical document. If you work in an environment where a document exists as a hard copy during the revision process, you may use or see handwritten proofreading symbols. You may have made changes, and most word processing programs will allow you to track those changes across several versions and authors. By now you have completed a general and specific review of the document, with attention to detail.
