LaTeX template:
LaTeX template is the preferred method for producing your manuscript.
In order to use the LaTeX version, for Windows OS we suggest using MiKTeX to edit and create the pdf file. You may download MiKTeX here. A 32-bit and a 64-bit version are available.
As for the LaTeX typeset, consider using pdflatex or pdflatex+MakeIndex+BibTeX, since they were positively tested with the given template.
Word Template:
The templates kit also contains a Word version of the manuscript template. It has been created in order to resemble the typical formatting of the LaTeX version.
The kit includes the Computer Modern truetype font (cmr10.ttf); this font is a clone of the default font used in LateX formatting.
You may find this font in the folder called “Required font” inside the “Word” folder, or you may download it here.
It must be installed in order to format the Word document as close as possible to the LaTeX template, so that differences between LaTeX and Word-created manuscripts will be minimized.
To install the font, just double-click the cmr10.ttf file, and Windows will automatically add this font to the font database. The same procedure applies for OS X.
It will be available to all the applications open, just look for cmr10 in the font menu.
When using Microsoft Word, click “save as” to create a pdf version of the word document created with the template.
