[Stylist] Your copy-edited manuscript is ready for your review

[Miss Thea]

    Hi, Bridget.
How does one take a document like this out of protected mode?
I did look at the Jaws help file for Word and found the track changes. Maybe 
they put something about protected documents somewhere.
OK, back to the grindstone.
Thea

Unless you have a really old version of Microsoft, dot dox files should
open. You may have to take them out of protected view though. JAWS, at
least, will read track changes, though you do have to turn track changes on.
If you're not comfortable with this stuff, or other problems arise involving
accessibility, you will probably want to hire someone sighted to help.

Thea The two files were docx a modern version of doc. I converted all three
to txt but not sure how well the track changes will come through as the last
time I dealt with them I couldn't seem to get access to them. Anyway hope
these are helpful.

clean copy of my novel and a copy with track changes on.
> They also sent me a pdf of their manuscript guidelines.
> The pdf opens and I can read it after a fashion.
> But the two Word documents are impossible for me to open.
> Tellwell has never worked with a blind author, and they always seem to
send me things I can't access.
> Naturally, I was not too thrilled at not being able to open up either Word
document, particularly the track changes one.
> Plus, in the attachment to this message is the email, which details
further work I'll have to do when it comes time for layout and images.
> I wonder if anyone would be willing to try to open the Word documents and
see if you get the same error.
> If so, maybe you know how to fix that?

> Please find attached your copy-edited manuscript with "track changes" on,
as well as a "clean" version, with all edits accepted.

> As the author, it is your decision on what recommended edits you want to
make to your manuscript. You can choose to accept or reject each edit. But
remember, this is your final version. After you revise your manuscript and
submit it, it means you are ready for Interior Layout.
> If you feel you need further editing, let me know and I'll be happy to
provide a quote for that service.
> Preparing your manuscript for interior layout and design: Take as much
time as you need to review your edits and chose which edits to accept or
reject._Accept or reject all edits, and delete all comments made by the
editor so that all the red marks have disappeared from the document and the
designer has a "clean" version.See Tellwell's attached manuscript submission
guidelines for important information on how to prepare your manuscript for
design. We only accept manuscripts as Microsoft Word documents.Send your
manuscript as one single Word document, including the dedication,
acknowledgements, epilogues, etc., if applicable.If you have images embedded
throughout your manuscript, please send the properly named individual image
files as well. Consistency is key for formatting, so if you use a different
font to style to indicate your chapter heads, pick one and stick with it.
Once you've gone over the guidelines and your manuscript meets our
requirements, you can send me your!
  manuscript as an email attachment or via wetransfer.com.
>  This should be your final, edited manuscript. Once you've entered the
design phase, any further changes to the text can only be made during your
revision rounds, directly on your PDF interior file. During design revision
rounds, changes should be focused on formatting and design layout NOT
spelling, grammar, or major changes to text.
> The initial layout will be completed in approximately 2-4 weeks. You will
have two more chances to make revisions to the layout and text, but again,
these revisions should be focused on design elements, not text changes.
> Thank you.
