Well, BIG publishers can probably do so. But if you are working on a publication for a non-profit organisation where all submissions are from volountary contributors things become a bit different. If you give them an ultimatum like that, you end up with no material at all... The ability to be able to convert submissions to a consistent layout is a very important aspect when you need all the material you can get. /Peter
