~' When submitting articles, columns,'reviews and such to ShareWorld, please'try and comply with the following
guidelines.
[35mText
' All text should be submitted on disk'and in ASCII format, unless it's a very'short article in which case it's OK on'paper. If you have the KindWords3'word-processor, a copy in KW3 "normal"!format would also be appreciated.' Do NOT justify your text and only'have one space between your sentences.'If you wish to include ANSI formatted'text (bold text, italic text etc.) then'do so as it's the format used by the magazine.' This may be called a style-guide,'but your writing style should be your'own, so feel free to write as you wish,'though paragraphs will usually be'formatted as they are in this article'as it makes the best use of screen
space.

[35mColumn and Article Headings
' The headings in columns and articles'are in fact graphics and if you'd like'to provide your own then please do so -'in hi-res format. They shouldn't use'more than four colours, (including'black and white), and the background'colour is normally a light shade - not'dark or black. Feel free to use your'imagination here. Also, columns can'have a small logo which will appear on'the first page, so columnist knock one'up if you wish. Sixteen colours,'including black and white, is OK for
logos.
[35mReviews
' Reviews should give a good deal of'information about the software under'review, along with your opinion of it.'Readers may be interested in the'software even if you think it's no'good, so say a lot about what it does
along with what it's like.' Some basic facts are required for'each review and these should be at the'start of the review. What's needed
is...
1: The software's title.%2: The registration fee if shareware.'3: Some brief descriptions of the
software.'4: What spec. Amigas it will run on.' (No need to test this - just state
what's claimed.)
5: Who created it.#6: Their address if it's shareware.'7: What spec. Amiga it was reviewed on.' Also, at the end of the review there'should be a five star rating for the'software. (Half stars (
) can be used.)'All reviews should have a Presentation'and an Overall rating, along with other'categories decided by the type of'software being reviewed. Here's some
suggestions...

' Choose from those or add ones of
your own making.' Screen-shots will be used in the'reviews if available, so please supply'them if possible. Submit them as you've'captured them, (or how the software's'maker has provided them), as we'll do'their formatting for inclusion in the magazine.

[35mGraphics and Art.
' If you want to include graphics in'your articles or columns, then feel'free to do so. They should be in hi-res'format. If drawing your own then twelve'colours or less is preferable.'Screen-shots should be submitted as'captured as we'll do the formatting of
them.' Full-screen pictures and art can'also be used in any non-AGA Amiga'format. Just send them in and say what
