Use of template for submitting papers to Fluoride
This template in Word should be used by authors to submit papers to Fluoride from September 1, 2023. Only the portrait page orientation should be used. The landscape orientation should not be used because of the difficulites this creates in printing Fluoride which has a portrait orientaiton. Please add square brackets to the reference numbers in the reference section e.g. [1] rather than 1, to meet the requirements of CNKI, a Chinese abstractin
g service which now covers Fluoride . Generally the template uses two columns. However some figures and tables are better displayed if they are in one column which is wider than each of two columns. To change from one column to two columns in Word (i) left click on the part of the text where want to change ot one column, (ii) left click on Page Layout in the tool bar, (iii) left click on breaks, (iv) left click on section breaks continuous, (v) press enter several times to create some space for the table or figure, (vi) left click at the end of the required space, (vii) left click on breaks (viii) left click on section breaks contnuous, (ix) left click and hold down the mouse and scroll down to highlight in blue the area for the table or figure, (x) left click on columns in the tool bar, (xi) left click on one.
From September 1, 2023 the practice of sending 5 free offprints was discontinued. Copies of papers may be downloaded from the website.Word files may open differently on different computers upsetting the placement of figures and you are welcome to send both a Word file and a pdf file of a paper. The pdf files open consistently.
