Article’s title
Figures and Tables
Figure X Use style ‘X Caption’. Captions are placed under the pictures. If you need to
reference the picture/image source, then do so. Preferably place/rearrange
figure and caption to the top of the page. Acknowledge here your source.
After you insert a picture into the document, select it and use style
named ‘X Picture’. Pictures are followed by a caption. The figures should be
numbered Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. Reference to the pictures within the text
should be as follows (fig. 1). Since the proceedings are going to be
distributed electronically you are welcome to use colour pictures. However,
ensure that these are in good enough resolution so that when these are
printed they are legible.
Table 1
Rough suggestion for table layout. Captions for Tables are placed above it.
Use style ‘X Table title’.
