And another thing

ksmithSo I was sent guidelines for digital manuscript preparation, a concept which is new to me. Started digging into it because I thought since I'm rewriting the chapters anyway, I may as well reformat them as well.
I have been typing two spaces between sentences for close to 15 years. Now, I am no longer supposed to do that. Single space only. Thank God for global search/replace is all I can say.
Margins 1.25" all around.
I'm going to have to ask whether chapter files linked into a Master Doc is still ok. I am getting the impression that it really isn't anymore. Looks like one file with page breaks is the way to go. I mean, I can do it. It'll be one hell of a long file, but hey, I have more RAM now, and I'm guessing my publisher uses supercomputers.
No more underlining for italics? Put in the actual italics instead?
Tabs are Death. Lucky I don't use them.
I foresee an email to my editor's assistant confirming some of this. In the meantime, I think I will leave some things be.
No more underlining?
Am I the last person to get the memo?
