Okay, I have my Oops Detection report. Now what?

Each error is listed as a separate line item in a Word document. The correction has been made within the report via Track Changes. Using the Find feature of Word (usually Ctrl+F), locate the appropriate sentence / error and make your correction, then move to the next item.

A note about looking for corrections: In some instances you'll want to search for the item to be corrected. Let's say a character's name is misspelled–Karen instead of Karin. The item in your report might have Karen looked over her shoulder with Karen struck out and Karin inserted. In that instance, you'd want to do a search for Karen just to make sure there aren't other instance of that error. Also, we'll often only mark one instance of an error if it's something that's easily searched for–that saves you time. 🙂

But let's say the error was Karin looked over here shoulder with here struck out and her inserted. Doing a search for here would be a nightmare. In this example, I'd recommend doing a search for here shoulder.
