Please make sure that your paper contains no non-English font packages (for example, Japanese fonts, Korean fonts, Chinese fonts, etc.) in the body of your paper summary as well as in all figures and tables. Any characters in these fonts cannot be seen by reviewers. In the past, we have had particular trouble with MS-PGothic, MS-Gothic and MS-Mincho.
You may also use this Word document or these LaTeX style files to create your paper. If you do so, you must convert the document to PDF before uploading it into the submission system.
