Computers played an essential role in this textbook’s publication. Authors use word processing software to create
the first draft of each chapter. This draft uses special formatting to instruct compositors how to organize and lay out
the content so that it not only is attractive and readable, but has educational value. Once the first draft is complete,
editors use various tools in the word processing software to make and show their changes, as well as to add
comments and questions. The authors then respond to these comments and questions and make changes based
upon editor feedback. The authors then send the revised electronic document to the compositor, who uses the
document, along with all accompanying instructions, to create a first version of how the chapter will look once it is
printed Using desktop publishing programs, such as QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign, the compositors perform tasks
such as creating the layout, adding and formatting headings, changing fonts and font styles, adding graphical
elements, and inserting page numbers. The authors, editors, and proofreaders then receive an electronic copy of the
chapter, specifically a PDF file, and use document management software such as Adobe Acrobat to identify layout
changes, text changes, or formatting changes that need to be made. Because multiple people review and edit each
chapter, they all send their comments to an individual who then compiles all comments into one document and
sends it back to the compositor for the next draft. This process continues until the authoring team requires no
further changes. Once all chapters have been composed and are in their final version, the compositor then prepares
and sends the files to the printer. The printer, or company hired to produce the printed textbook, then uses the files
to print and bind the textbook.
