I recommend this guide two levels. Firstly, it's an excellent guide for beginners. If you need to know formatting, etc, this is exactly what you're looking for. Secondly, it makes an excellent reference to have nearby while writing. It's only a matter of time before you get stuck on something, and this guide is sure to get you out.I bought 6 other how-to's on this subject before I found this one, and I sure wish I had found this first.
