quick formatting question

[Aggy B.]

My character sees a sign in the window. Currently I just have the text from the sign centered on the page with paragraph breaks before and after. Is there a standard (or preferred) way to do this?

I would prefer not to have: Fine Mechanical Repair, the sign said. OR Fine Mechanical Repair, Keira read.

Right now she looks at the sign in the window, there's the text of the sign and then she goes in to the store. That's the way I would like to keep it (at least in this draft).

Thanks.

That sounds fine to me.

Me, too. That's exactly how I've done it in the past, using the same font as the rest of my text but the capitalization that the sign would have.

Thank you, ladies. Appreciate it.

I thought it looked right, but I know there are a couple strange formatting rules for MS and figured it would be best to ask those who know.
