Word lets you change the look of "this particular" section of text without changing its named style, I used to do it inadvertently. Every paragraph needs to be exactly the same style as every other paragraph. Publishers want their story in a consistent format from end to end. I worked internal corporate software documentation for awhile, which used the same requirements as the O'Reilly publisher. While I've been out of this for a long time (10 years or so), I seriously doubt that a traditional word processor file is going to go unmodified.ĭisclaimer: I never published a book. Sending MSS as email attachments was still science fiction back then!
