IV. USING THE TEMPLATE
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.
A. Authors and Affiliations
The template is designed for, but not limited to, six
authors. A minimum of one author is required for all
conference articles. Author names should be listed starting
from left to right and then moving down to the next line. This
is the author sequence that will be used in future citations and
by indexing services. Names should not be listed in columns
nor group by affiliation. Please keep your affiliations as
succinct as possible (for example, do not differentiate among
