Re: [Groff] Creating Word/rtf output

[Clarke Echols]

I think the majority of printers/publishers now want electronic files
for direct-to-plate printing.  This cuts out the messy process of camera
work and intermediate lay-up.  All you should need is page crop size,
margins, point size, fonts, etc.

Some may be fussy about details for toc and index.  YMMV.
