- Re Robert Kelly's point that hiring someone to fix the file to meet the
- publisher's formatting requirements is possible only when one has a grant or
- other money:
-
- If the person works in a university environment, unless he or she is using an
- extremely esoteric product, there must be lots of people around who would know
- how to insert the proper formatting commands. Would this really take more
- than an hour or two for someone who knew what they were doing? I cannot
- believe the professor involved would not feel his time is worth more than the
- $20 or $30 he might have to pay a moonlighting secretary or student to do
- this. Perhaps he is really having some fun trying to figure it out even though
- grousing about it!
