As an editor, I can tell you that if your manuscript looks funky - bookman or something, I'm going to have trouble reading it. Font size - eh, if I need to I just increase it.
Yes I could reformat it if I really want to - but if you can't follow the directions - why would I want to work with you? It's your job to hook me, and make me want to edit your book. Not following directions is a good way to un-hook me quick.
