It is indeed very strange. By the way, Word is only preferred in the sense that I cannot handle LaTex or FrameMaker or something like that. People typically want to send their submissions in the format of the tool that produced the document itself. Also, I can make trivial changes for people if they send their submissions in Word. As it mentions in the Guidelines for Authors, PDF is perfectly acceptable, as is Postscript. -- Pat Rogers Technical Editor, Ada Letters progers@classwide.com
