Dear colleagues,

Fixing an error and a clarification on my previous messgae.

Simao -- A quick update for the upcoming SG 16 meeting:

- the workshop has been confirmed for the 17th May, for those interested in attending. Also, please notice that there will be a SG 16 Welcome dinner on Wed May 19 and a farewell lunch on Sat May 29.

- now you can submit contributions to the ITU via a WEB browser. Fill in the form at http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/edh/ . See http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/edh/ for a Q&A on submission methods, and TSB Circular Letter 182 as well (a must-see) -- check at http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/circ/circ4/182.html.

- Also, please be sure to use the appropriate ITU-provided templates (see http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/template/index.html) and A4 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ paper size when composing you documents. Also, be aware that documents prepared with Word 97, even if saved in the Word 6/95 format, may loose information when read by Word 95 [aka Word 7] (even though it may *look* OK in Word 97!!!).

This is especially true if you try to use the Word 97 embedded drawing tools. DON'T! INSTEAD, use an external drawing package and import the picture into the document. And always provide them as individual files to the ITU, when you submit the document. When in doubt, also provided the ITU with a printable version of your document, e.g. postscript or Acrobat .PDF files.

I had this grief many times, not to mention that it took me time to make sure some other people's documents had their missing figures recovered. So please, be careful, or your document may show up not exactly as you hoped for ... :-)

NOTE on templates: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If they look funny on your screen, try the following in Windows95/NT: exit Word, then open Control Panel, double-click Regional Settings, select the tab "Number". Go to the last item in the menu ("LIst Separator") and change whatever character is in there (probably a comma ",") to a semi-colon (";"). Click OK, reopen the template; it should look "familiar" now.

That's what I had for the moment. Any questions or problems, drop me a line.

Best regards, Simao Campos-Neto
