Correlating Parts, Typecoding, and Permissions
Most manuscripts will require the copyeditor to correlate the parts within it. Copyeditors must carry out the following tasks in this process:
 * Verify any cross-references that appear in the text
 * Check the numbering of footnotes, endnotes, tables, and illustrations
 * Specify the placement of tables and illustrations
 * Check the content of the illustrations against the captions and the text
 * Read the list of illustrations against the illustrations and captions
 * Read the table of contents against the manuscript
 * Read the footnotes/endnotes and in-text citations against the bibliography
 * Check the alphabetization of the bibliography or reference list

Some manuscripts may even require special cross-checking. For example, in a how-to text, a copyeditor might need to verify that the list of equipment or parts matches the instructions given within said text.

Typecoding is the process of identifying which sections of the manuscript are not regular running text. These portions of text, known as elements, include the following: It is the copyeditor's job to typecode (or make note of) all manuscript elements for the publication designer. Hard copy copyeditors are usually asked to pencil in the typecodes in the left margin of the manuscript. On-screen copyeditors may be asked to insert typecodes at the beginning and end of each element.
 * Part and chapter numbers
 * Titles and subtitles
 * Headings and subheadings
 * Lists
 * Extracts
 * Displayed equations
 * Table numbers
 * Source lines
 * Footnotes
 * Figure numbers and captions

Finally, if the manuscript contains long quotations from a published work that is still under copyright, the copyeditor should remind the author to acquire permission to reprint said quotations. The same goes for the reprinting of tables, charts, graphs, and illustrations that have appeared in print. Rules vary for the reproduction of unpublished materials (letters, diaries, etc.)
