Using the Template for Word
The author template for Word® is
provided to help you prepare your paper for the LCI International
Conference on High-Performance Clustered Computing. It
supports Winword 7 (Win 95), Word 97, and Word 2000.
The template includes the styles that you need to create
your conference paper. You can access the formats easily
by the provided toolbars or by using the keystroke combinations
specified below.
Copy the template file SV-lncs.dot into the directory containing your Word templates. Start Word and choose Options from the Tools menu to see where the template should be saved.
Setting Up the Template
Before you start work, open a new or an existing Word document and choose the
menu point Templates and Add-ins ind the Tools menu (Word 97
and 2000) or the menu point Templates in the File menu (Word
95). Click on "Attach" in the dialog box, choose SV-lncs. dot, and
click on "Update Styles" and then OK.
Macrovirus Protection
If the macrovirus protection is activated on your PC, a warn-ing will appear
to tell you that the template contains macros. We have checked the template
for viruses and assure you that it does not contain any viruses we are familiar
with and that you can use the macros.
Toolbars Menu
The Toolbars menu contains five options from
which you can choose:
You can use the first three items to display and hide the toolbars containing the buttons for the various style elements grouped as Title, Text, and Lists and captions.
If you forgot to click Update Styles when you attached the template, you can use Activate Formats to activate the set formats. You will first be asked whether the template has been saved under MSOffice\ Templates. If you saved the template in a different directory, click "No", and type in the correct path in the text box.
The entry Change Margins changes the typing area to the correct typing area of 122 mm × 193 mm for your conference paper.
Warning: You must click Change Margins before you start using the template.

button either before or after entering text. The style
