I remember reading a similar post from you Emma and took note of how you put the page number both top and bottom of the pages having watched your editor scan for them :) Here's hoping a future publishing editor will be impressed by how mindful I am being of their time - and should they mention it I will of course pass on your 'copyright' of the tip! :)
I've been told by an Agent that they prefer Word to PDFs because PDFs don't work properly on Kindles.
And whereas I can quite see that if you're sending something to an Editor you want double spacing to allow detailed comments, isn't 1.5 spacing fine for a Submission - because they're reading it to see if they want to represent you not to do line-editing.
Interestingly one Agent (I've just submitted to) wants the first 10pp pasted into the email, not as an attachment. I suspect this is to make sure it can be read on whatever device they are using.
