I'm with Mary and don't quite grasp the tab instructions. Everything else you say makes perfect sense. Good news, though, I know several Carina authors, and I'll beg and cajole until I get what you mean. All best, and thanks for being here.Donnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543098270794087276.post-86030164644711965192011-07-20T18:16:01.234-05:002011-07-20T18:16:01.234-05:00Alison,

The world of publishing is changing exponentially, and writers need to keep up. M dashes, by the way, can be done in almost any program by using Alt+0151.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04040441084648426091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543098270794087276.post-23377923645394434232011-07-20T10:19:23.372-05:002011-07-20T10:19:23.372-05:00Thanks for this great information!

Some of the tips I've done, but you've shown me a couple of new ones. The em dash thing I had to Google because I had no idea how to make one on my Mac. And the tabs thing, way cool.
