The title should be given in CAPITALS, followed by one line space, then the author name(s) all on one line (attending authors underlined or marked with an asterisk [*]), another line space then the authors affiliations. A further line space should be inserted before the text, which should be typed in single spacing and justified. A single line should be left between paragraphs, and there should be no indentation a t the beginning of each paragraph. References should be given after the text, separated from it by a line space. The whole text, including references, must fit into the text area defined above.

The text should be typed approximately like this. This is Arial 12pt, typed on single line spacing and justified. The sans serif font is particularly clear, especially if reduced to A5 size as it may be for the Abstract Book [1].

Le ave a line between paragraphs as this make the whole thing rather easier to read. There is then no need to indent at the beginning of each paragraph, so leave these left justified.
