available as a pdf

Thank
you for submitting an abstract for a Theme Session or Poster Session
presentation at The Coastal Society Conference this May in St. Petersburg
Beach, Florida. For the conference proceedings, our standard word
processing software will be MS Word 2000 (which can also read WordPerfect
8.0, MS Word '98 for the Mac, and MS Word '97). You may use earlier
versions of any of these programs listed above. Save and submit
the manuscript as a .doc or as .rtf (rich text format) if .doc is
not available. If you are using MS WordXP, please save your file
as a MS Word 2000. Your MS Word 2000 files should then be directly
uploaded to the TCS-20 submission site.
To
ensure consistency in the collection of papers for the conference
proceedings, we will only change documents using the page setup
codes during final formatting for paper size, font, margins, page
numbering, etc. Do not insert any codes in the text other than for
the bold lettering in the paper title and subtitles. Please use
the following:
-
Times
or Times Roman size 10 font.
-
All
caps in the paper title and title case for any subheadings.
-
One
line between title and author, two lines between author and
subheading or text, and one line between subheading and text
(see sample)
-
Use
a hard return at the end of each author line and subheading,
and soft returns within the text except for the end of each
paragraph. Our final reformatting for the cdrom proceedings
volume will change your layout. We will search for widow/orphan
lines or headings and other layout problems.
-
Endnotes
and footnotes are acceptable as long as they are consistent
with our other formatting requirements. Endnotes and footnotes
must be included within the 5-page paper limit.
-
All
references, citations, contact and other information must be
within the 5-page limit.
A
SAMPLE PAPER AVAILABLE (DOC
or PDF)
Below
are guidelines for preparing your poster:
Your
paper, including all text, graphics, appendices, addresses, and
other materials, must be no more than five (5) pages, single-spaced
on standard 8.5" by 11.0" paper with 1.75" margins
on the top/bottom, 2.0" margins on the left/right sides,
and size 10 font. You may be charged a page charge of $50.00
for any pages over the limit.
Do
not use italics, underline, or bold to highlight portions
of the text (other than bold for title and subtitles).
If
you wish to insert a table in the text, we recommend that
you use WordPerfect or MS Word's Table Editor. If you are unfamiliar
with MS Word or WordPerfect table features or wish to create a
small table, please use tabs to position the rows and columns.
Do not use spaces!
Graphics:
All graphs, figures, tables, maps, or other non-text material
must be in electronic form and included in the MS Word 2000 document
as they would appear in the final paper. The MS Word 2000 documents,
including all graphics mentioned above will be converted to an
Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) file for final compilation. For this reason,
we request that you do not insert page numbers or a header
or footer.
