I have a story sitting on my computer that is ready to submit, but I have avoided posting it because of a sticking point I found in the submission instructions. Instruction number 5. (shown below), says that if your story had bold or italics, you must use either MS Word or the Rich Text File format.
5. All manuscripts must be submitted as via the site scripts as Word files (.doc), text files (.txt) or Rich Text Files (.rtf), or pasted into the submission form. If your story uses bolds ot italics, you will need to submit it as a .doc or .rtf.
The story I wish to submit does contain italics so I am going to submit a MS Word document. The question I have is what version of MS Word file should I use. I write in MS Word 2013, but I believe that the most common MS Word version out there is 2003. In fact all versions of MS Word after 2003 allow saving files in the MS Word 2003 format.
Should I save my file as MS Word 2003 before I submit, or does it matter?
