    Proofreading

    Use a red pencil for proofreading. Many proofreader's and copyediting marks are identical. Because a typesetter looks only for changes rather than reading the entire proof, you need to write proofreading corrections in the right or left margin next to the line of type to be corrected. Then draw a line from the marginal instruction to the place in the text needing correction. The other side of the copyediting-marks card, available from Creative Publishing, shows proofreader's marks.
