How to Save Money on Revisions

• Write or print legibly.
• Make corrections with a red pen. Do not use a blue pen or a pencil. Blue doesn't copy or fax well.
• Place a check mark next to every line that has edits.
• Cross out the wrong word and put the correct one above it with a caret (^).
• If there is not enough room to make the corrections and additions legibly, number them and write them on a separate piece of paper. Clearly indicate where the additions need to be inserted.
• Highlight missing information on the original document.
• When deleting large sections or pages, cross them out.
• When moving large sections or pages, leave the information in the original sequence so the typist can find it. Indicate the beginning and end of the material you are moving. Number the sections and indicate where you want to move the text.
