TO SEND AN ARTICLE:

  1. Paste the text into a blank MS Word document. (If you're starting off with a MS word file, skip this step.)
  2. Go to the "View" menu and select "Show Paragraph Marks"
  3. Delete all paragraph marks in the middle of paragraphs.
  4. Clean up the article as much as you can otherwise. If these are clippings then delete huge mail headers. Boldface, italicize, color, whatever it takes to make the file nice and readable.
  5. Select "Save as Web Page" under the File Menu.
  6. Choose the file name as follows: author-DateAsYYMMDD-subject.htm. For example, Rushdie-010930-hotAir.htm (Rushdie is the author, the date is 30 September 2001 and the subject is "hot air" or evocative thereof) or FOIL-010912-Afghan.htm or Rajan-0112xx-something.htm (using xx where date is not available). If this is too complicated, just dont worry.
  7. Send the web file by email as an attachment to Maya Yagnik or Raju Rajan with a note asking to put it up.
  8. And thanks for contributing.
