Coping and adjusting to the digital world was not easy for me and I am sure for more than half of the population of seniors within my age range. MBOpinions READ:
Many of us born in the ’30s and brought up in the days of typewriters – Smith-Corona, Olivetti, or even the vintage Remington Steele, often encounter difficulties adapting to the computer age and digitalization. Thus, I spend more time using apps and devices like correcting errors, using tracking system, and transposing or altering words. And working on footnotes where one must click twice the number.
Let me give an example. After the manuscript was laid out by the book design consultant where the original Word format was changed to PDF, and returned to us for proofreading, one copy editor said she would like to have hers converted back to Word format. But when she sent the same to me, it was garbled.
Then the issue of selecting software for indexing. While working with a team with various experiences in use of software, there was the need to agree on whether to use the more traditional MS Word or InDesign. Our indexers had to learn a tutorial on the latter to be able to accomplish the task.
