consist of: the surname used in your byline, one important word from the title of your story, and the current page number. Do not place the header in the upper-left corner, because the typesetter will often have your manuscript clipped in that corner as he or she transcribes it and will not be able to see what the current page number is. The keyword and surname are important because sometimes unbound manuscripts happen to fall off editors' desks and become mixed up with other manuscripts. This information will be essential if your manuscript is ever to be reassembled in proper order. Except for paragraph indentations, the left margin of your manuscript should be ruler-straight. The right margin, however, should be ragged. Never right-justify your manuscript. You may think that right justification makes your manuscript look prettier, but your editor will not. It messes up the spaces between words and sentences, and it will only annoy the editor. And the cardinal rule of manuscript formatting, if you haven't guessed it by now, is to do everything in your power to avoid annoying the editor, who is a cantankerous person anyway, thanks to all the poorly formatted manuscripts that cross his or her desk. If a word is too long to fit at the end of a line, then move the entire word to the beginning of the next line. Only if a phrase is normally hyphenated may you break it up at the end of a line. Thus, you must always place "antidisestablishmentarianism" on its own line, no matter how
