I personally think you ought to dictate some formatting requirements to
those who wish to submit an article.

And you think authors would actually follow them? It depends on the journal,
but if you're one of those that has to beg people to submit copy in the
first place, you can't be too picky. If you have authors beating down the
doors to get in, then, yes, you can be more selective.

I am not seeing that post in my newsreader or in Google Groups. I only see
you replying to Suzanne on questions of format.

It seems your comma question was settled, by Graham Mayor. You will have
to
restate what was wrong with it, if something was.
Quoting Graham Mayor:

If all you are trying to do is convert underlined commas to
non-underlined
commas, the simplest plan is to use the replace function

In the find box, enter a comma
In the replace box enter a comma and press CTRL+U twice (no underline)

The SmallCaps issue is half settled--you could probably set up a Find &
Replace using Wildcards to help you select the author/treatises but I
already suggested that and you did not appear interested in investigating
that possibility?

I personally think you ought to dictate some formatting requirements to
those who wish to submit an article, most journal editors do not seem to
be
so kind as to take it all upon themselves.

I posted a follow-up saying what was wrong with it. About 10 minutes

though.

Where is Charles when you need him?
