Instructions for Using

the Author Template

T1-book

The author template has been designed for authors preparing book manuscripts for
Springer. The template supports MS Word 2000 and 2003 but can also be used
with Word 2007. Predefined style formats are available for all the necessary struc-
tures to be included in the manuscript, and these formats can be quickly accessed
using keystroke combinations or the special toolbars provided.
For a detailed description of how to prepare your text, references, and illustra-
tions, see the Instructions to Authors.

Click the “Medium” radio box and then OK. Exit Word.
• Copy the template T1-book.dot into the directory where you want to save your
manuscript.1
• Open My Computer or Windows Explorer and double click on the template to
create a new document. If a warning appears to tell you that the template con-
tains macros, click on “Activate macros”.
Note Do not open the template out of Word via File→Open.

ing text into the new document. Then select Tools→Templates and Add-Ins,.
click the "Automatically update document styles" check box and OK.
Toolbars Generally, after attaching the Springer template, three additional tool-
bar items automatically appear. If this does not occur, select View → Toolbars and
click "TitlePage", "TextTools" and "ListsCaptions".

template from the Global templates and add-ins window, and attach it as de-
scribed above.

under no circumstances should the changes be saved to the document template.
Special characters are not properly displayed

Tips for Word 2007 Users

In the Office Fluent user interface the menus and toolbars have been replaced by
the Ribbon; the commands are now organized into a set of tabs.
• Security settings: Go to the Trust Center, choose Macro security and click
„Disable all macros with notification“. When a security warning appears to tell
you that the template contains macros, click on “Activate”.
• The special toolbars can be accessed via the tab Add-Ins.
• The additional macros for advanced users can be accessed via View > Macros.
• Do not create equations with the default equation editor. Use MathType or the
Microsoft Equation 3.0 instead which can be accessed via Insert Object from
the Insert ribbon.
