    In preparing submissions (paper and electronic), I am experimenting with right-left justification of text. It works better than it once did (with earlier word processors), yet I wonder whether it looks a bit odd (anyway) in a typescript (manuscript)? Any views on this?

    Editor's viewpoint? To each his/her own, but is that how it is intended to be presented if accepted? That might have to be clarified. I'd be wondering that right off the bat.

    Thanks for the insight, Bob. Left-justified text is standard for mss. and doesn't indicate a strong preference for formating: you're right.
