[Patentpractice] Confused

[Brad Czerwonky]

Some amendments (or at least non-substantive changes) to a specification would be difficult to show (once I was asked to change the line spacing, for example, and I don’t know how you would show that formatting change with the usual markings; another example might be paragraph numbering changes, which I believe I’ve read somewhere don’t always need to be shown and are blown out later anyways). Other, more standard amendments would be easy to show. Could they be asking for more than one type of amendment and simply noting that not every category of amendment need be marked?

Of course, some notices just don’t make any sense.

I just got this Notice of Incomplete Reply in a new application, after filing a substitute specification
Do these instructions taken together make sense to everybody else and I'm just going crazy?

(incidentally I did show markings ... because I thought it would be helpful ...)
