Note: If you don't use MS Notepad, I believe other Notepad equivalents will do the trick as well. Check out my press release, no #### signs in sight! __________________ Creative & Strategic Web Design Services www.aivirtualsolutions.com

In the press world, ### signifies the end of the body of the release, or at least that's what I learned while I was studying....so I thought it was necessary? __________________ Create a welcome packet for new clients with this guide and free templates!

I felt and could be completely wrong, that she was referring to aesthetics- that the #### signs just looked out of place.

I'll have to check into it and see if it's actually still considered a standard - or, does anyone else know one way or the other? Maybe I'm just old-school. __________________ Create a welcome packet for new clients with this guide and free templates! (Available in PDF and Kindle versions)
