How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Plei, perfectly normal. Even after the babies got more robust, I'd still wake up and go check their breathing now and again. Especially with Kara, who was so new after such a long time.

have you googled for proofing marks? I can't find my cheat sheet, or I'd look it up for you

I googled. It gave me love, but that was the only mark I couldn't find. It's within a date, say 2001-2003, the hyphen between the two dates is slashed and the margins have the capitalized and underlined N.

I've written to the client asking for help. It'll be okay. Now I have to learn how to do weird language things (like a y with two dots above it) in InDesign. Bleagh. It's making me feel stupid.

Hey editorial type people, what might a capitalized and underlined N mean in proofing marks?

and then P.M. Marcontell suggested:

Deena, have you googled for proofing marks?

Which I did, since I'm (again) with the insomnia and the closest I can come up with is an "en dash": [link]

ETA: Seems I'm too slow for Deena's google-fu.

Eddie, I'm gonna kiss you. Damn, also have to learn how to do an en dash.

And I figured them both out. Eddie, not too slow. My google-fu was faulty. Thank you.

This is turning in^to Buffistechnology...

Deena, I'm assuming you're using MS Word. If you go to Insert > Symbol > Special Characters tab, you'll find Mrs. en dash and all her wacky nephews.

ETA: You're welcome, Deena.
