Step 1: Create text for your manuscript in a word processing program (such as MSWord, Corel Word Perfect, or Sun's StarOffice).

Note if you have a table within your text be sure to use the Insert Table function instead of using tabs and spaces.

Try to avoid using unusual fonts. We recommend these common fonts: 

  • Times New Roman
  • Arial
  • Verdana
  • Symbol
Try to avoid fonts that begin with WP, as they have restricted licenses.
Step 2: Import figures into your file..
There are many ways to put your figures into this file. You might have to experiment to see which gives you the most satisfactory images.
The most commonly used methods are:
  • Choose Insert, Picture, From File. This will allow you to import a variety of image type files, including .JPG, and .TIF. The result should be your image on that blank page. Then move to the bottom of that image, insert a page break, then repeat the Import process for other figures.
        • OR
  • Open the image in its original format, choose Edit, Select All, Edit, Copy, then move to the blank page, and Edit, Paste (copy-and-paste).
        • OR
  • Create a PDF of each figure by using the File, Print, PDF Writer command, then combine at a later point.  You must own PDF Writer software to choose this method. 
Be sure that each image is clearly labeled (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2a).
Save this file with the figures embedded.

Step 3: Click here to upload the resulting file to JRAD.
