Hello, Mary Catherine,

That is not a problem. I will also be rather busy over the weekend with a pressing matter.

The document you receive will be your document edited with the 'Track Changes' function. There is a window in which you can select to see any version of the paper, from your original to a final copy, with settings for original showing mark-up or final showing mark-up. This gives you complete flexibility in how you view the completed document. What I usually suggest is that an author read the document in 'final' form before looking at the marked-up copy, which can be quite overwhelming. You may accept or reject any changes I have made. There is also a global 'accept' if you should happen to like everything I have done :)

I will also have comments wherever I have a question or suggestion.

Basically, you do not need to do anything until I have submitted the document to you. At that point, you may ask me any questions or request further work--say, after a revision. That, of course, will entail further editing charges.

I intended to mention that your topic interests me as I am a Christian, and a behavioral primatologist/psychologist with an interest in anthropology.

I hope this has been helpful.

Enjoy your conference.

Best Regards,

Nyanidoc
