add copyright notice
<li>The Editor or Associate Editor assigned to work on the project will then remove all three files for an issue from the AugustanConvert YahooGroup, and begin work on the ODT file, first converting from DOC format if needed. It is at this stage that formatting is imposed. Where possible, a style close to that used for ''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]'' is used, though it is often necessary to reduce the font size so that articles will begin on the same page as the original.</li>
<li>Some things will need to be redacted in these copies. Obsolete addresses and prices are the primary targets, and Society addresses need to have the current address inserted nearby. No effort to add current prices should be made.Care need be taken with the copyright notice if any. Issues copyrighted by a predecessor of the Society (like the [[Octavian Society]] or the [[Hartwell Company]] need to have a new notice added with the current date. A few issues claimed copyright belonged to the individual authors; these will take substantial legal effort before we can reprint them. In all cases, a notice that it is the "Second Printing" is required, along with the year.</li>
<li>Photographs in the ODT file are generally replaced, as the OCR process is unkind to images. This may be done by pulling the same image from the PDF file, or a replacement image may be used. As many images are public domain, it is often possible to replace a black & white photo with a color photo. Depictions of arms should be colorized, provided a blazon can be found without excess effort. In the process of replacing the images, it may be found helpful to reformat some pages or resize some images. This is left to the discretion of the Editor, with the understanding that the goal is to recreate the original, particularly in regard to the page things originally appear on. This is important as it permits indexes to be built that apply equally to the original and this reproduction.</li>
