Hi Janet. The bible in this area is Strunk's Elements of Style. What's
right and wrong always seems to change, so you need to keep uptodate on
what's what....like Dian said, underlines are no longer used much...and
the double space after a period is no longer correct either (tho that's
one's a habit I'm having a REAL problem adapting to....my finger just
wants to hit the dang spacebar twice after a period.) oops...see? I
did it again LOL
Anyway, here's a link to Strunk's. Unless Dian knows better, I believe
this is still considered the last word in styling documents:

Dian, this is maybe getting a bit OT, but can you suggest a good
basic text or site that deals with what *are* accepted practices
these days? I've been away from the writing world for awhile, but
hope to be doing some work in that area for clients in the future,
and would like to update my knowledge).
Thanks,
Jan
