Sorry to hear about the mess caused by a publisher's converting
NB files to MacWord. Keep in mind that the Macintosh is much more
common among designers and publishers than the PC, so you will
want to ask the press before you sign the contract.
BUT I have just been negotiating the publication of a book with
Yale University Press. I find, to my amazement and pleasure, that
the program they use is (a roll of the drums) XyWrite! Yes, if
you submit in Word, *they* convert to XyWrite. If you submit in
XY, or conceivably in NB, they will be as happy as you are. As
for what version they use, I don't know, but will shortly.
Cheers,
