Resolving editor warnings

Steps

1. Check the Table of Contents on the the left-hand side for warnings.

2. Go to the provision to see where exactly the warning is coming from.

3. Edit the provision to resolve the warning; the warning will no longer be there after you Update.

4. Don't forget to save! :)

Tips

• Do fix OCR errors and whitespace errors.

• Don't fix spelling, grammar, punctuation, or numbering errors; rather make a comment or insert an editorial note.

Examples

All-caps headings

Solution: Make the heading/s Sentence case.

Empty body

Solution: Remove the 'Schedule' introduction (keyword, heading, and subheading), and make sure the body of the document starts after the BODY keyword.

Empty section

Potential solutions:

• Move the content of the section under the heading, if it's a section.

• Use the PARA keyword, if it's a numbered paragraph in a Schedule or Annexure.

• insert a \ before the number so that it gets treated as normal text, if it's a numbered list in the main body.

• Delete the number and heading, if it's in the Arrangement of Sections from the original.

Duplicate section numbers

Solution: Check the section numbers in the original. If that's how they are, insert an editorial note.

Other duplicates

Solution: Check the numbers in the original. If that's how they are, insert an editorial note.

Numbers don't follow

Solution:

• First check that the previous element wasn't sucked into the one before it (in this example, see if subsection (3) is at the end of subsection (2)).

• Check the numbers in the original. If that's how they are, insert an editorial note.

Only one element

Solution:

• First check that the subsequent element wasn't sucked into this one (in this example, see if subsection (2) is at the end of subsection (1)).

• Check the numbers in the original. If that's how they are, make a comment ('note: as in original').

  • This way, if someone else sees the document and the warning, they'll know you've already checked it.

(l) or (I) instead of (1)

Solution: These should usually be changed to (1). If in doubt, make a comment to ask for feedback from a reviewer.

Broken word

Solution: These should usually be joined into one word ('responsible' in this case). If in doubt, make a comment to ask for feedback from a reviewer.

Space before punctuation

Solution: Find and remove the space. (You may need to use the 'Search' function in Edit view to find it.)

If there should be a space before punctuation for some reason, make a comment explaining why it isn't an error.

Space missing after punctuation

Solution: Insert the missing space.

If there shouldn't be a space for some reason, make a comment explaining why it isn't an error.

Broken link

Solution: See Working with links.

Image missing attachment

Solution: Make sure the name for the file given in Edit view has a corresponding attachment on the document.

m2

Solution: Superscript the 2: … be 300m2 and … → … be 300m{{^2}} and …, or make a comment if it shouldn't be superscripted.
