 | | Copy editing typically entails correcting spelling and punctuation mistakes; correcting grammatical and semantic errors; ensuring that the typescript adheres to the publisher's house style; and adding standardized headers, footers, headlines and so on. | | | Copy editing is the process of an editor making formatting changes and other improvements to text. | | | The spread of desktop publishing means that many copy editors do design and layout work that was once left to production crews for printed publications. |
