Useful hints


Guidelines for number of words (characters) in articles including space between words (as counted in Wordmenu: Functions).

If your article contains illustrations, please consider
a reduction of the number of words. If you have large illustrations and if you use the full amount of words, you should consider a cut-down of words with 720-1.200.

to authors, photographers, translators and editors

Text
The articles should be from 3.900 (1 page) - 8.600
(2 pages) / 12.500 (3 pages) / 17.200 (4 pages) characters (including spacing), as agreed with the national editors.
The text should not contain hyperlinks, illustrations/pictures, logos, frames, boxes etc. - no columns. Avoid 'bullets', underlining, use only bold to indicate headings. Footnotes should be placed at the end of the article as ordinary text, but try to avoid them altogether. Graphic tables etc. in spread-sheets should
also be submitted as separate files or in printed form.

Illustrations
Illustrations can be sent as separate files, either on
CD-ROM or as electronically attached file (eps, tiff, jpg).
Best use high resolution focus on your camera (min. 5 MB). If illustrations are sent in for example 72 pixel/inch, please note that the illustration will be reproduced in a considerably smaller format - about 1_4 of the original size - in print. A digital picture must therefore in original size be the equivalent of approx. one A4 page in order to be reproduced as 1/4 page in print. This also applies to screendumps - and remember that screendumps are often blurred.
Non-electronic illustrations, photographs, dias and other forms of printed pictorial material will be scanned.
Please send a print of the logo when one exists.
