Before you begin to format your paper, first write and save
the content as a separate text file. Keep your text and graphic
files separate until after the text has been formatted and styled.
Do not use hard tabs, and limit use of hard returns to only one
return at the end of a paragraph. Do not add any kind of
pagination anywhere in the paper. Do not number text headsthe template will do that for you.
Finally, complete content and organizational editing before
formatting. Please take note of the following items when
proofreading spelling and grammar:

After the text edit has been completed, the paper is ready
for the template. Duplicate the template file by using the Save
As command, and use the naming convention prescribed by
your conference for the name of your paper. In this newly
created file, highlight all of the contents and import your
prepared text file. You are now ready to style your paper; use
the scroll down window on the left of the MS Word
Formatting toolbar.

Acknowledgment (Heading 5)
The preferred spelling of the word acknowledgment in
America is without an e after the g. Avoid the stilted
expression, One of us (R. B. G.) thanks . . . Instead, try R.
B. G. thanks. Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered footnote on the first page.
