From a subeditor friend, who works in papers:
I'd do double page spreads, but separately. It's
slightly different for us here, as of course we have to have the pages set
up separately so that different people can work on them. But from the
point of view of pages corrupting, etc (this has happened to me), it's best
that only a couple of pages' work is lost, rather than the whole bally lot.
It also means that you can easily proof out the section that you want to
work on, proof read etc. So that's my advice. Of course, if it's a
continuous piece of prose that's going over 100 pages, then perhaps it's
best to have just the one document for all the pages, so that
cuts/additions will shift onto subsequent pages, rather than disappearing
into overmatter.
Overmatter - that's really scary. It sounds like maybe chapter-sized files would make sense, as then the next chapter can start on a new page, removing the overmatter worries. Except for the worry that overmatter is slowly persuading all other mattter to join one huge self-aware collective... |
