Microsoft Word Templates for Springer’s


Computer Science Proceedings

1 Package Contents
The template package for Springer’s computer science proceedings contains the fol-
lowing files:

 [Link]: sample Microsoft Word document with formatting macros.


 splnproc2510_mac.docm: A special version of the sample document for users of
Microsoft Word for Mac 2016 and newer. Please note that the macros are NOT
compatible with Microsoft Word for Mac 2011! However, a compatible template
can be requested from our editorial.
 Quick [Link]: The file you are reading.
 SPLNPROC Technical [Link]: Detailed instructions on how to use the
template and its macros.

2 Style Your Paper


If you have not yet started to write your paper, simply open the document
[Link] and overwrite its sample contents with your data. Use the buttons
of the template’s custom ribbon to format additional elements.
If you use copy & paste to transfer content from another document to the template,
please note that the original formatting of the pasted text will usually be retained. It
will not be automatically adjusted to the template’s predefined styles. In this case
you should select the pasted paragraphs and use the built-in macros to format them
according to the Springer standard.
Finally save your document in the docx format, i.e., without macros, and name the
document with your name and a short form of the title (e.g., Smith_TitleOfPaper.docx).

On no account should docm files be submitted.


They are not compatible with Springer’s systems.

3 Activate the Macros


The activation of the template’s custom ribbon and macros depends on the security
settings on your individual system. If you encounter problems in activating the macros,
please check [Link]

the Microsoft Word version you are using.
