Message: [QUOTE="Suzanne S. Barnhill, post: 13973669"] Perhaps we should all barrage them with email telling them they're living in the dark ages? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA [URL]http://word.mvps.org[/URL] Get this: They want a Word file, and either a pdf or a paper copy to guide them as they prepare it for publication! The best part is that they sent the instructions as both a .doc file and a pdf and suggested simply replacing the text of the .doc file with the text of the article, so that the formatting would be correct. Which would be fine if they'd used Styles for the various required elements (title, author, affiliation, headings, text, references). But they didn't. It's obviously a legacy instruction from back when word processing was new. (I want the text to simply flow around the images, a snap in FrameMaker and perhaps in InDesign. But I also want the captions to stay with the pictures!) [/QUOTE]
