There are two problems in the index that likely aren't typesetting
problems.  Looking at page 710:

 * the entry for zernerkla has an error message in it.
 * the entry for zetro has some LaTeX markup that managed to get
	 rendered as text instead.  I suspect that problem is in your
	 xslt, if that is what you used to generate this document.

Are the list of examples supposed to have names, or is it that they
are numbers only?  It probably deserves to be 2-column or some other
compressed format rather than the way it currently renders.

Are you needing help both on things like that as well as tweaking
spacing, tables, &c?  Just the former?

In this process, do you even have the ability to fix problems like
the bottom of page 513 and the top of page 517; where manual
page breaks and table formatting will likely need to be added to
handle particular special cases of how the text winds up on the
page?  (And which will of course change as larger scope adjustments
are made.)
