Formatting information

• The conversion process from disk to typeset version will change the appearance of the article; however, it won't change actual keystrokes, other than any changes that are made during editing.
  
• Formatting should be consistent and as simple as possible. Eliminate all non-essential formatting, e.g., underlined words. Boldface and italic may be left as is.
  
• Prepare manuscript on same hardware/software from start to finish.
  
• Use Times font.
  
• Double-space the entire manuscript.
  
• Provide a separate list of special characters, (diacritics, unusual symbols, Greek letters) showing how these characters appear on disk and in hard copy.
  
• Margins should be set flush left, with a ragged right margin, not justified.
  
• All subheads should be typed flush left.
  
• Do not put running heads on pages.
  
• Manuscript pages should be numbered.
  
• Use a single tab to indent each paragraph. Delete extra indents. Do not use space bar or style formatting for indenting.
  
• Use tabs, not spaces, to define columns, if necessary.
  
• Delete any extra spaces between paragraphs, notes, extracts, etc.
  
• Use one space after colons, periods.
  
• Do not use hard returns, except at the ends of paragraphs, or titles, or items in a list.
  
• Make sure all numbers are numbers, not letter "l" or letter "O."
  
• Make sure all EQUATIONS are clear and easy to read on the printed manuscript. Your version of the manuscript in relation to equations may appear different on your hardware and software than on ours, so a good hard-copy is necessary as we most likely have to reset them. Please make explicit if any symbols are to be bolded or italicized.
