  Manuscript format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manuscript format is the format in which most editors prefer to receive writers' submittals of text manuscripts for publication.
The next reason involves the translation of the text into the final format, either by a typesetter typing the text in or by submittal of the text in some electronic format; in both cases, the text is then set in the typeface of the publisher's choosing.
Page numbers, author's name, and title on every page ensure that if an unstapled manuscript is shuffled on a table, shared among two or more people, or dropped, it can easily be reassembled, and if a stack of unstapled manuscripts is dropped, it can easily be sorted into the correct sets.
