Tables and figures
- All images should be embedded in your manuscript. The type of graphics you include will affect the quality and size of your paper. In general, vector graphics such as those produced by most presentation and drawing packages can be used without any problems, and are encouraged. Please do not use colour, as proceedings will be produced in black and white print only. The use of bitmapped images such as those produced when a photograph is scanned requires significant storage space and must be used with care. In general, bitmapped images should be limited to no more than 256 (8 bit) gray scales, 150 dots per inch, and should be kept as small as possible.

- Tables should be pasted or printed in place. The caption is to be placed above the table.
- Photographs (black & white glossy) shopuld be pasted in place. The caption should be placed under the photograph.
