GUIDELINES FOR PAPERS

  • Use the following margins: top=254 mm, bottom=254 mm, left=286 mm, and right=286 mm.

  • Use the styles introduced in the article template to encode the topic, headings and other major text elements. Avoid using inline character formatting instructions when possible (see style descriptions below to know where inline formatting is needed).

  • Do not change the styles included in the template document.
  • Do not introduce new Word styles to do the same job with the existing styles included in the document.
  • Do not insert additional empty lines between paragraps, images, etc. to modify the layout of your article.
  • Insert (place) images in the article instead of linking them.
  • Do not include page numbers.
  • Do not include any text in headers or footers. Do not use footnotes.
  • Do not use any automatic numbering, especially not for headings, figures nor tables.
  • Do not use bookmarks.
  • Do not embed functional hyperlinks in you article (refer to them by giving the URLs in text form instead and use format: http://www.domain.org/resorce ).

TIPS

  • Try using only two levels of headings, if possible.
  • If you have written sections of your article using documents obeying other Word styles and wish to copy the text in your new NBE article (written using the article template), use the Word method Edit/ Paste_Special/ Unformatted_text instead of simple Paste to insert text and apply correct style if needed. This effectively forbids making unwanted style definitions (essentially combining definitions from different Word templates) by accident.
  • Try printing out your document to see that it is correct. Remember to check the images.
  • Use Word method Tools/ Word_Count to calculate the number of words of the selected portion of the article.
  • If you need to insert line breaks without ending a paragraph, use Shift+Enter instead of Enter.
