Guidelines for Submission
Whilst we can change many formats to suit this process (txt, rtf, etc) it would help dramatically if you could submit electronic articles in the following:
Use Word A5 (doc or docx)
Use Calibri font size 11 (select in HOME)
Use Narrow Margins (select in Layout)
Use No paragraph spacings (select in Design) then, in text just hit return twice to create paragraph spacing)
Do Not Use Headers, Footers, Headings or Titles
Do Not Use page breaks
This will ensure that the page you see on your computer will look as close as possible to the final printed page.
Paper or email articles can also be handled
- Pictures and photographs should be submitted in electronic form or original photo. Photographs in most of the popular electronic formats (.jpg, .bmp. .gif etc) can be handled and give a better result than scanning.
- Submitters are solely responsible for the content of their articles, in particular any copyright issues.
- Articles containing links to other websites should be checked to ensure any such links are working. Thereafter, the submitter is responsible for maintaining these.
- Business advertisers will be invoiced following approval of the way their advert will appear.
