Answer» A manuscript is any document in typewritten or hand-written form – it may be books, legal documents, letters, e-mails, articles in magazines, theses, project reports, agenda, minutes, documents, agreements, dissertations and research papers which are corrected before sending to the publisher for its publication. These documents are considered as drafts or rough scripts. These drafts require many additions, deletions, alterations, and modifications before sending the same to the publisher. The drafts are read again and again and the requisite proof correction signs are put to make corrections in the left or right margin of the document. These symbols are called Proof Correction Signs. Adding a New Paragraph: NP or // are used for adding a new paragraph. Trans: Transpose the words or transpose the letters. It is represented by the sign or given in a jumbled order number. Caps: Change the alphabets underlined/crossed through the Capital letter. |
