How to Create Your
Document (subtitle not required)

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 either. 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.

We will provide
the basic page codes 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. Use Times or Times Roman size 10 font. Use all caps in the paper title and title case for any
subheadings. Use 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 bound proceedings volume will change your layout. We
will search for widow/orphan lines or headings and other layout
problems.

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.
<blank line>
Do not use italics, underline, or bold to highlight
portions of the text (other than bold for title and subtitles). Please
mark those distinctions on your hard copy and we will drop in an
appropriate code consistent with the entire proceedings.
<blank line>
If you wish to insert a table in the text, we recommend
that you use WordPerfect or Word's Table Editor. If you are
unfamiliar with 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!
<blank

Graphics: Hard copy graphs, figures, tables, maps,
or other material which you are not able to recreate in digital form will
be scanned and then placed at the end of your paper. However, we prefer
that you provide digital copies of graphics. Please try to insert
digital copies of graphics into the body of the text or
send these graphics separately. We prefer that you submit
graphics in the higher resolution formats: .wmf (windows-meta file),
.tif, .bmp, .eps; however, we will also
accept .gif or .jpg. We are also able to open MS Powerpoint files (Powerpoint 97
or earlier). Since the proceedings will be printed as a cdrom, it is fine
to provide color graphics.
<blank line>
If you can not use Word or WordPerfect, please
submit your text as an ASCII (text only) file and in whatever other word
processing software you select. However, our strong preference is for Word
or WordPerfect.
<blank line>
Do not insert page
numbers or a header or footer.

End your
paper with a listing for the 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:
