Screen shots, formatting
Posted: Mon May 17, 2010 9:59 am
Two questions:
I am thinking of writing some how-to articles concerning MS Excel and perhaps MS Access. For such articles, embedded screen shots are very helpful to readers. Are these allowed by CC? If so, are there any restrictions I should be aware of? I am using Word.
Also, I recently submitted an article (it is currently under review, no response as yet) that contained a bulleted list with paragraphs indented underneath. It is a Word document, of course. For the Content Excerpt, this formatting looked awkward. I understand that formatting is generally discouraged, but I don't see how to show a bulleted list without at least this much formatting. Should I expect a rejection? What can you tell me about formatting restrictions? I don't see anything about this in the Writer's Guidelines.
Thanks in advance,
David
