Alright, so I've read a few publishers writers' guidelines and have what will probably be deemed a novice question. Mdashes and eclipses are not preferred yet MS word automatically formats them. One publisher requested ,. . ., and -- instead. How do I go into Word and make it fix that? I hope I don't have to find each one. Ooo, maybe I can do a Find/Replace. Hmmm....pointers would be great!!
