That is the ONLY thing that       matters. If they say "submit paper copies, with X font and Y spacing"       then that's what you do. If they say electronic, then you submit       electronic (in whatever format they specify). If they say either one,       then I'd say go electronic; a physical copy just clutters someone's desk.               Just remember to *follow the submission guidelines*. Because they       usually really, really do mean them, if for no other reason than as a       first-pass "throw it in the can" filter.                     --        Sea Wasp        /^\        ;;;        Website: http://www.grandcentralarena.com Blog:       http://seawasp.livejournal.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
