Unless you're writing a screenplay, you don't need fancy writing software to ensure that your book manuscript is properly formatted. As long as you abide by a few simple rules, agents and publishers won't take one look at it and decide to find it a good, loving home in the circular file. I already gave you ten tips to help you hook an agent's attention with a dy-no-mite query letter. Now that you've gotten that letter requesting your full manuscript (and finished weeping) I'll get to the dos and the don'ts of submitting the pages. Follow my advice and any agent or editor who reads your work will judge it based on the strength of its words, not superficial--and avoidable--screw-ups. Some may seem obvious, but as a literary agent, I saw these mistakes made over and over. So they're not obvious to everyone.

1. Double space. That doesn't mean 1.5 spaces. It doesn't even mean 1.75. If your manuscript is too long and you want to lessen the page count, edit it. Don't get tricky. Whomever you're trying to trick won't fall for it. And they won't read it. Double-spaced text is easier to read and easier to edit.
2. Page numbers. Leaving them out results from carelessness, not trickiness--unless you really think a reader won't notice that your manuscript is 1000 pages long if you don't number them. (It'll still be just as heavy.) Why so important? Read on.
3. No binding. Often more than one person at a literary agency or a publishing house will read the same manuscript, necessitating photocopying. Made difficult by staples, three-ring binders, and the dreaded spiral binding (shudder). Also, if the manuscript is bound together, Agent X can't take home the first 50 pages to read tonight, and you will have annoyed Agent X already. Use rubber bands. That's all. (Note: a lack of binding allows for the possibility of Agent X dropping the manuscript and watching a fan blow its pages throughout the office. Reason Tip #2 is important.)
4. No double-sided copies. Again, makes photocopying complicated. And as in Tips #1 and #2, doing this to make your novel seem shorter won't fly. In fact, nothing will. Most agents and publishers will ask for a word count. Also, it can affect readability, since type often shows through to the other side. And if it's not bound, which it shouldn't be, type on both sides can get confusing (Did I read this side yet?) The reading experience should be like a visit to the spa, not a stint on Survivor.
5. 12-point type. This isn't a hard-and-fast rule, since different fonts print at different sizes when set to 12-point size (am I the only one who doesn't understand that?). Just think readability. And forgive me for my broken-recordness, but printing your manuscript in tiny type won't fool anyone into thinking it's shorter. It'll only make them all squinty. Likewise, if you've written too few words, using 18-point Courier won't make your characters more well-developed.
6. Avoid shrink-wrap. I've never received a manuscript that's been professionally shrink-wrapped and not thought of the writer as just a little weird. It's annoying to have to find scissors and figure out how to un-mummify your manuscript. Two words: padded envelope. Don't worry, it'll be safe. A tiny tear might appear in the corner. That tear won't keep it from getting published.
7. Name and/or title on each page. Befriend the Header/Footer tool in Microsoft Word. Not necessary--and don't make any header more than one line--but if a page gets adventurous and runs away to another part of the agent's office, it'll find its way home.
8. Cover page. This one is necessary, and it must include your name (not only your nom de plume), mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, and, to protect yourself, a copyright date. Yes, your contact info should also be in your cover letter. But do you want an interested agent or publisher to not be able to contact you because they lost your cover letter?
9. No pictures. Or colors. Or pictures. Your cover page should include the things mentioned in Tip #8, and only those things. Don't ask your friend Stella, the amateur cartoonist/illustrator, to draw your protagonist. Don't print your title in hot pink. Anything that isn't a word is a distraction and will look amateurish.
10. Return postage. Want your manuscript back? Fine. Want the agency to package it up and pay for the postage? Not gonna happen. And don't assume it's because they're cheap bastards. Many agencies are very small operations, and they read a lot of manuscripts every week. Paying to send them all back would significantly impact their budgets. If you want it returned, enclose a padded envelope with stamps on it. (Don't use a postage machine; they aren't always accepted at a later date or in a different zip code.) Calling two weeks after you receive a rejection letter will prove less than fruitful: your manuscript will already have been recycled to make room for the next one.

Writing has no rules that can't be broken if you're good enough. But the presentation of your manuscript is about business, not writing, so don't break these rules, no matter how beautiful your spiral binding (shudder again). Note, though, that fancy-schmancy formatting software may be worthwhile for other forms of writing, such as screenplays, the proper formatting of which can lead to insanity.

What Is An Email Header Trace And What Can You Learn?

An Email header trace is where you take an incoming email. Locate the header information. Take that header information analyze it and attempt to determine the origin of the email.

Many times when you see the question asked about how to trace an email back to the sender they will answer by telling you how to trace a header.

While a header trace is often helpful in identifying the sender usually the only thing you can determine is the senders ISP.

If you are working on a case that involves civil litigation you may be able to serve the ISP with a subpoena duces tucem.

A command to a witness to produce documents.

The ISP will send their custodian of records to testify and identify the account information they have on record.

If you are working on a criminal case you can get a search warrant signed by a judge and serve that on the ISP. The ISP will be required to turn that information over to law enforcement.

Many times the recipient of an email will want to perform a header trace to identify who sent an email but there is no civil or criminal case pending and they cannot obtain either a warrant or subpoena. Unfortunately in most cases a simple header trace will not reveal the identity of the sender. But at the same time the information it does provide can be useful, especially with the addition investigative tools such as an Email Header Comparison.

Let's say you have a suspect in mind who is sending the emails you want identified. Lets say that suspect is an ex boyfriend or girlfriend. In that case a trained investigator experienced in email tracing can take the header that needs to be identified and compare it forensically to the suspects email header and determine if they come from the same computer. With a basic email header comparison investigation you can either rule in or rule out the person as a suspect. But a trained investigator can take it even further and use little known methods to obtain more information about the senders and suspects computers including the operating system, browser and even the MAC ID.

This kind of detailed comparison could prove beyond a doubt whether or not your suspect is the sender of the email.

Most private investigators you'll find in the local yellow pages will be unfamiliar with this field of investigation. They will think it involves illegal computer hacking or that the only method is through subpeona or search warrant.

Thats why you need to hire a private investigator that is an expert in email tracing and Internet investigations. Do a Google search to find a qualified professional to handle this type of investigation.

How can I make the header disappear from the first page only?

In MS Word I do not want the header on the first page of my document, but I want to keep the footer.

I know there is a button somewhere, where I can set this, but where, or how?
