Paper
Preparation Guidelines These guidelines should be followed if your abstract was accepted for oral or poster presentation at TCS21. Thank you for submitting an abstract for a Theme Session or Poster Session presentation at The Coastal Society Conference, which will be held June 29-July 2, 2008 at Redondo Beach in Los Angeles, California. For the conference proceedings, our standard word processing software will be MS Word 2000 (which can also read WordPerfect 8.0, MS Word 1998 and 2004 for 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 Word XP, please save your file as a MS Word 2000 files. Your MS Word 2000 file should then be directly uploaded to the TCS 21 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:
A SAMPLE PAPER AVAILABLE (DOC or PDF ) 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 if you exceed 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 document, 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. End your paper listing one author to contact for further information. Include information as follows, beginning two lines after the last line of text and placed flush to the left column:
