IEEE-NANO 2012 Microsoft Word Template Seminar Report
[attachment=67230]
Abstract
These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers and 2-page abstracts for IEEE conferences. Use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft Word 6.0 or later. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set. Please use this document as a “template” to prepare your manuscript. For submission guidelines, follow instructions on the paper submission system as well as the Conference website. The abstract paper should be a summary of your work (including abstract, short introduction and some results). Since the abstract is limited to 2 pages, you may include the most important result in the paper abstract. The abstract can then serve as the template for your paper.
INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers in IEEE conference proceedings. For items not addressed in these instructions, please refer to the last issue of your conference's proceedings for reference or ask the conference Publications Chair for instructions.
A. Preparing Your Paper
1) Paper Size: Prepare your paper in full-size format on US letter size paper (8.5 by 11 inches).
2) The font type sizes are given in points, same as in the MS Word font size points. Times New Roman is the preferred font.
3) Paper Margins: Paper margins on the US letter size paper are set as follows: top = 0.75 inches, bottom = 0.75 inch, side = 0.75 inches. Each column measures 3.4 inches wide, with a 0.2-inch gap between the two columns.
4) Paper Styles: Left- and right-justify the columns. On the last page of your paper, adjust the lengths of the columns so that they are equal. Use automatic hyphenation and check spelling and grammar. Use high resolution (300dpi or above) figures, plots, drawings and photos for best printing result.
B. Preparing Your PDF Paper for IEEE Xplore©
Detailed instructions on how to prepare PDF files of your papers for IEEE Xplore© can be found at

PDF job setting files for Acrobat versions 4, 5 and 6 can be found for downloading from the above webpage as well. The instructions for preparing PDF papers for IEEE Xplore© must be strictly followed.
HELPFUL HINTS
Figures and Tables
Try to position figures and tables at the tops and bottoms of columns and avoid placing them in the middle of columns. Large figures and tables may span across both columns. Figure captions should be centered below the figures; table captions should be centered above. Avoid placing figures and tables before their first mention in the text. Use the abbreviation “Fig. #,” even at the beginning of a sentence.
Figure axis labels are often a source of confusion. Use words rather than symbols. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, write “Magnetization,” or “Magnetization (M)” not just “M.” Put units in parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. In the example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization (A ∙ m-1).” Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write “Temperature (K),” not “Temperature/K.”
Multipliers can be very confusing. Write “Magnetization (kA/m)” or “Magnetization (103 A/m).” Figure labels should be legible, at 8-point type.
SOME COMMON MISTAKES
The word “data” is plural, not singular. In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The word alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you mean something that alternates). Do not use the word “essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect” and “effect,” “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse “imply” and “infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” The abbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the abbreviation “e.g.” means “for example.” And finally, use “it is” rather than the contraction “it’s,” and note that “its” is the possessive form. An excellent style manual for science writers is
