<p class=MsoNormal>I cleaned up the in-line images for Chapter 6 (RAMS).
Apparently using “paste special” and selecting JPG or PNG provides
a cleaner method of pasting powerpoint or visio documents, particularly within
Office 2007. In this version, the images are still scaled, but the arrows
and text are not modified from the original. As a supplement, I’ve
also added an Appendix at the end containing full-size versions of figures from
chapters 5+6 – both chapters use figures that can benefit from a
full-page view. If we decide to use this Appendix, I will clean it
up further to ensure the numbering and image sizes are more consistent between each
of the figures. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ll leave it to the group to decide whether to delete
the in-line images, omit the Appendix, or include both with a note at the
beginning of each chapter referencing the availability of alternative
full-sized images in the Appendix for the reader’s convenience. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Working Group,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I attempted to clean up the figures in chapter 6 of the AMS
Green Book (chapter 6 covers Remote AMS), but ran into problems.
The original figures were moved in-line with the text (which is
good) but were reduced in size, and locations of some of the arrows in the
figures were changed. In my opinion, the figures are no longer intuitive
(which was the main purpose of using figures). Anyway, after
unsuccessfully trying to clean up the figures, I gave up and talked with Scott
Burleigh. We decided to push for restoring the full-sized figures and putting
them in a section dedicated to figures (perhaps an appendix or the beginning of
chapter 6 or the end of chapter 6).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>(The unsuccessful attempts to clean up the figures are on my
local hard drive; the version of the AMS Green Book that is on the CWE retains
the non-intuitive figures; the change that Scott and I are suggesting has not
yet been made)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Tim<o:p></o:p></p>
