One thing that wasn't obvious to me when preparing once such manuscript was to disable all auto-hyphenation (in which case you might as well set everything ragged right anyway). The first markup draft came back with each of TeX's hyphenated line-breaks (of which, naturally, there were a lot) carefully fixed with a mark to the effect "pay no attention to this here hyphenation". Since the line breaks in the typeset copy will presumably be different than TeX's, the editor won't want the person keying in your hardcopy to have to decide whether you *really* wanted that hyphen, or whether it was just an artifact of the line breaking algorithm. -- =============================================================================== Pete Halverson INET: halverson@crd.ge.com GE Corporate R&D Center UUCP: uunet!crd.ge.com!halverson Schenectady, NY "Money for nuthin' and your MIPS for free"
