INTRODUCTION
IEEETRAN.DOT is the official IEEE
Transactions/Journals author's template for Microsoft
Word for Windows. The current template covers Word
versions 6 and 7. The template is essentiall a set of
stles that e!tend Word's NORMAL.DOT template.
"apers su#mitted to IEEE "u#lishin$ %ervices that
adhere to these $uidelines are eli$i#le for a discounted
production rate& #ecause the wor' ou do to prepare
our document saves us time and effort in convertin$
it for use in our composition software.
THIS GUIDE AS SAMPLE DOCUMENT
This $uide shows what various stles in
IEEETRAN.DOT loo' li'e. (n attempt has #een made
to appro!imate the loo')and)feel of IEEE
Transactions papers& althou$h we reali*e that this can
onl #e a ver rou$h appro!imation. +inal IEEE
papers are tpeset usin$ composition software that
allows $reater control over laout and fonts than is
possi#le in Word.
The loo')and)feel of IEEETRAN.DOT papers& then& is
offered for aesthetic reasons and to emphasi*e that
our paper will #e set in two)column format& which
ma #ecome a factor in our #rea'in$ of e,uations.
-ou ma also $et a #etter feel for our final pa$e
count& thou$h this
too can onl #e an appro!imation.

wa of tpesettin$ is onl a temporar simulation of

-ou will now need to $o throu$h our paper from start

macro under IEEE Maros to re)define the elements
listed in section 7I of this $uide. %tles in the
e!istin$ paper that have e!actl the same names under
IEEET.(1.23T& such as 8eadin$ 1& do not need to
#e re)stled.
MATH
In addition to usin$ IEEETRAN.DOT& ou must ma'e
sure to use either the Microsoft E,uation Editor or the
Mat!Ty"e add)on for all math o#9ects in our paper.
( math o#9ect is defined as an e,uation or fra$ment
containin$ mathematical sm#ols :includin$ ;ree'
characters& super) and su#scripts< that appears either
in)line :in the flow of normal te!t< or as a displa
e,uation :in its own space #etween lines of te!t<. In
particular& ou must avoid usin$ Word fonts or
character calls for in)line =,uic'ies> such as sin$le
varia#les with super) or su#scripts. "reparin$ our
math with the e,uation editor or Mat!Ty"e allows us
to automate conversion of most of the math in our
paper to our in)house math format& Te#& while
allowin$ ou to format math for the hard cop of our
paper that ou will su#mit alon$ with our Word file
and ascii dump.
The Mat!Ty"e add)on for Word is a commercial
product that ou ma or ma not have purchased
alread for our own use. If ou have MathTpe&we
encoura$e ou to use it for as much of our math as
possi#le. If not& ou can use the Microsoft E,uation
Editor& which comes as a part of Word at no e!tra
char$e.
MAR=UP
Mar'up defines the parts of our paper4 the title&
headin$s& lists& and so forth. Each of these elements is
$iven an appropriate name& and certain formattin$
instructions are associated with that name& so that title
te!t& for instance& alwas loo's a certain wa. In
Word& the mechanism for associatin$ an element name
with its formattin$ conventions is called a stle.
%tle names appear in the pull down stle menu alon$
the left hand side of our Word window. Tpicall&
ou hi$hli$ht an area of te!t that ou wished to
desi$nate with a certain stle& then select the
appropriate name on the stle menu.
This does two thin$s. +irst& it associates the stle
name with the hi$hli$hted te!t. This connection is
hidden within the Word file. %econd& it applies the
formattin$ rules associated with the stle to the
hi$hli$hted te!t. IEEETRAN.DOT offers an alternative
method for applin$ certain stles :the Re-style or
Edit macro<& #ut 'eep in mind that hi$hli$htin$& then
selectin$ a stle from the stles menu can alwas #e
used to re)stle.
Re-style or Edit macro does not handle all stle
names& 9ust those most commonl used in IEEE
9ournal papers& mostl stle names uni,ue to
IEEET.(1.23T.
The macro allows ou to add or edit stles without
first hi$hli$htin$ an te!t. If the stle alread e!ists&
the macro will find the first instance of it and place
our cursor there. If no instance of the stle can #e
found& the macro will activate the stle at the current
cursor position& read for our input. In this case&
remem#er that the stle will remain active until ou
=turn it off> # selectin$ a different stle or #
movin$ our cursor to another point in the document.
