Here's a tip, for those of you working in Word:  When you go to save the
story as text, change the font of the whole thing (CTRL-A to select all
of the text, I think) to Courier 10.  It's a proportional font.  Then
set the right margin to 1 inch.  Leave the left margin at its default
setting.  Also, set tabs to 0.67 inches.  Then save as MS-DOS text with
line breaks, and wa-lah.  Perfectly formatted text every time.  8)

Absolutely true - this is what Zen does.

Just one technical quibble....

Courier is a MONOSPACED font - NOT a proportional one.
That's why you use it. ^_^

Another fun font is Fixedsys.  It's the one Windows uses for Notepad and 
those menus.
