It is suggested that you use a text box to insert a graphic


(which is ideally a 300 dpi TIFF or EPS file, with all fonts
embedded) because, in an MS Word/ OpenOffice Writer
document, this method is somewhat more stable than
directly inserting a picture.

REFERENCES
The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [4]. Refer
simply to the reference number, as in [5]do not use Ref.
[5] or reference [5] except at the beginning of a sentence:
Reference [5] was the first . . .
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the
actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was
cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for
table footnotes.
Unless there are six authors or more give all authors'
names; do not use et al..
Note that the IEEE Style [11] is used for the references.
