Note: The templates in Microsoft Word format can be opened in Microsoft Word 6.0/95 and Word 97/2000. If you plan to use LaTeX, you should download the LaTeX style and sample files and you may prefer to download TRANSMAG.PDF, instead of TRANSMAG.DOC, for instructions. The instructions in TRANSMAG.DOC or TRANSMAG.PDF are obligatory for conference-related papers and are recommended for regular submissions.

WIN and MAC Bibliography File (IEEEtranBST.zip, ZIP 208 KB)

Note: Mac users can use either of the packages. However, Mac (especially OzTeX) users should be aware that they should not use text files with Windows style line feeds. Therefore, if using IEEEtran.zip, OzTeX users need to convert the line feeds of any Windows style ASCII files (.txt, .sty, .tex, .bib, .bst, etc.) to Mac format before use. Most Mac text editors and word processors can easily perform this conversion. OzTeX will work with the UNIX releases(IEEEtran.tar.gz) without need of modification.

WIN OR MAC LaTeX2e Transactions Style File (IEEEtran.zip, ZIP 348 KB)

Note: If you are having problems downloading the compressed files (zip or gz), try right-clicking on the files and saving them to your computer first. Mac users can take advantage of Safari's built-in decompression functionality. If you have trouble unpacking these files, make sure that you have downloaded the latest version of WinZip. Go to www.winzip.com for a free download.
