Good evening, Chris, Folio JB/002/015/001 doesn't have the Edit link. Can you please attach this? I'm still in proofreading mode with this folio. Many thanks. Best, Diane.

Hi Chris: Have at look at JB/004/015/002 - there are a number pages in this series (JB/004) which are similar, i.e. there are some annotations beside certain sections of a Bill/Act. Without transcribing the printed text of the Bill/Act the annotations make no sense by themselves. The only other alternative would seem to be to put an untranscribed reference to the clause number of the Bill/Act and then transcribe the handwritten notes (which are somewhat illegible). How do you want to handle them? Cheers Kay

MS JB/034/193/001 There are still a lot of gaps and guesswork in this MS therefore I don't intend to submit it at present but to leave it open.

Hi Chris For the transcription challenge folios box 78 appear to be accessible from the link in your email but not from Untranscribed Manuscripts. This is still the case with Box 109. Regards Keith

Hi Chris I have begun looking at the MSS in Box 109. There is a link in the last Newsletter which is live but Box 109 is not listed under "Untranscribed Manuscripts". Does this need to be corrected? Keith

Thanks so much, though I used to transcribe for work I'm a bit of a newbie for transcribing these kinds of papers but find them fascinating. If there's anything that needs correcting or I need to know feel free to tell me.

Just saw your Newsletter in my email so found your explanation; if you mouse-over the blanks the button functions are indicated and they seem to work normally. Keith

As from 08.50 this morning (03/04/20) some of the radio buttons have disappeared from the editing page which obviously means that certain effectors can't be used to edit the input or maximise the display Keith

Hi Chris, Now you've said it, I can see how it's 'Tothill'... Thanks for getting back to me. I'm doing others in the series so that info is very timely. Best, Diane

That is not how it appears to me. The edit always appears above the preview in a separate pane. This is on a Macbook Pro using IOS Mac High Sierra Version 10.13.6 using Google Chrome. It is the same on a PC using window 10 and Explorer.

I noted from the most recent Newsletter that the preview function had been restored. Whilst this is true the preview is displayed below the image of the MS and not adjacent to it where it used to be and where it is most useful.

After a break in transcribing this morning I found that on returning all my access to edit files has been been blocked. I no longer have privileges to edit manuscripts. Can you rectify this

Hi Louise. I tried again to paste in some text which I have on the clipboard but it still doesn't same. It just returns to the editor page. A message in red briefly flashes on the screen but too quickly to read it. the only words I picked up were "external links". Other MSS I am working on are fine. Keith

Louise Following from the continuing problems with the new interface mentioned in this morning's Newsletter, has anyone else noticed that the Maximise option has disappeared? I didn't think it made much difference when first offered it but ended up using it routinely. You need all the help you can get with JBs script. K
