I write for APoV, and I usually send through my piece in Word format with some associated images that I think would look good in the finalised article. The APoV crew take the reigns from there in terms of layout and page-setting.
If you have an idea for an article, it is usually a good idea to make your intentions clear to Black Cornflake or Cody beforehand, so they know what to expect. You can do so on this forum or via email.
Hope this helps
