Mastering Microsoft Word Templates: Essential Tips and Tricks

This guide discusses the benefits of using the template document in Microsoft Word to ensure consistent formatting and facilitate collaborative writing, specifically for IEEE Conference papers. The template provides:

  • Detailed Instruction Set: The document acts as a guide, offering clear instructions and predefined styles for titles, sections, figures, tables, equations, references, etc. It also demonstrates these styles and formats within the document itself, serving as a practical example.
  • Reusable Base: This template can be shared and used as the foundation for creating new IEEE conference paper documents. By utilizing the template, authors can simplify the formatting process and easily follow established IEEE style guidelines while working together.

This guide offers options for both individual paper creation and collaborative writing using the template.

Two Effective Methods for Utilizing the Template:

A) Developing an Individual IEEE Conference Paper:

For individual paper creation, users can save a copy of the template as a new .docx file. This enables them to replace the template text with their own content while preserving the styles using "Paste and Match Formatting." Additionally, the Styles Panel in Microsoft Word displays the predefined template styles necessary for incorporating subtitles, lists, figures, tables, equations, and other elements required for writing the paper's content in various sections. Please ensure that all guidance text is removed from your conference paper prior to submission to the conference. Failure to remove template text from your paper may result in your paper not being published.

B) Creating a Microsoft Template (.dotx):

The recommended approach for collaborative writing is to create a template file (.dotx). This ensures that all collaborators have access to the predefined styles and formats, promoting consistency and compliance with IEEE Xplore requirements.

How to create a Microsoft Template (.dotx):

  1. Open the Document:
  2. Launch Microsoft Word and open the conference-template-a4.docx file to create a template with the formats and styles for formatting your paper.
  3. Depending on your Operating System and Microsoft Word version, the instructions can differ. Please refer to the Microsoft support or help section in your application. Here we explain the current instructions for Windows and Mac Operating system Microsoft Word application:
  4. Now you have a new document with the text of the template. Write replacing the text with your own text including new text using the styles displayed by the Style Panel. Use the styles of the Style Panel for all the different text styles you need. It is a lot of work but is worthwhile as it generates a well-formatted text as asked for a conference. Please ensure that all guidance text is removed from your conference paper prior to submission to the conference. Failure to remove template text from your paper may result in your paper not being published.
