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 ___________ 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 ___________ to these comments and questions and make changes
based upon editor feedback. The authors then ___________ the revised electronic document to the compositor,
who uses the document, along with all accompanying instructions, to ___________ a first version of how the chapter
will look once it is ___________. Using desktop publishing programs, such as QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign, the
compositors ___________ tasks such as creating the layout, ___________ and formatting headings, changing fonts
and font styles, adding graphical elements, and ___________ page numbers. The authors, editors, and proofreaders
then ___________ an electronic copy of the chapter, specifically a PDF file, and use document management
software such as Adobe Acrobat to ___________ 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 ___________ all comments into one document and sends it back to the compositor for the next draft. This
process continues until the authoring team ___________ 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 ___________ to produce the printed textbook, then uses the files to print and ___________ the textbook.
