French term

en page de page

French Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology)
(Encadré en page de page, à droite)
The context doesn't help at all here and there are no diagrams or screen shots. Never come across "en page de page" before and I haven't been able to glean anything from Google!

Thanks for your help.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Looks like someone wasn't thinking when they were typing. It could just as easily be "tête de page". I'd ask.
Martin Cassell May 27, 2008:
Looks like one to refer back to client.
Melissa McMahon May 27, 2008:
or typo for "de page en page"? ie from page to page?

en bas de page? Is it a typo?

Can't make sense of it either... Perhaps flag it to your client.
Note from asker:
I think you may be right - the sentence is repeated further on but reads "en bas de page"- just a typo by the looks of it. Thanks!

agree B D Finch : Though this is an odd typo, it could be due to poor dictation transcription.

agree Glen McCulley : think so to - wasthinking ahead to 'page' before typing in 'bas': it's a box-insert, so can hardly run over several pages

double page?

I wonder if it means on a double page, on the right hand side.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Neil Coffey : don't try and justify it -- it's just a typo!
