Hi :) If only you could be strict with those people and demand 1. a Pdf so you can see how it's meant to look 2. Images as separate files in image formats 3. The article in .doc format For me that would be just about perfect.
Even with .docs the formatting some people fall into is fairly insane but at least i can paste-as-unformatted text and then fix it. If they give the Pdf i stand some chance of getting reasonably close. A local magazine wants us to send them an advert in .doc format and our art-work (logos etc) also in .doc format?!?!!? wtf? Luckily they claim to like scalar vector formats so i'm sending them .EPSs instead. I can't read eps myself (the colours go weird and/or dotty) so it might be interesting to see what result i get.
