This paper provides a template for preparing papers for production of the TIME 2000 proceedings. Full details are given along with examples. The abstract itself should be no more than 100 words and should not include the word abstract. Please use the styles provided in this document to assist you with preparing your paper. 
Introduction
This document is to be used as a template for preparing papers for the TIME 2000 conference, to be held 11–14 December, 2000 at The University of Auckland and Auckland University of Technology. Replace the titles and text with your own information but leave the styles and page setting intact.
The Layout of Your Paper
The proceedings for the conference will be prepared using phot ready copy, backed up by electronically, increasing the consistency of the final document. To this end, we are asking that all submissions be prepared using Microsoft Word, version 6/95 or later, on either a Macintosh or Windows system.
Using Styles to Control Layout
The motivation for using Microsoft Word is the consistency that comes from using Styles. Assuming you are reading this document in Word, you will see the list of defined styles in a box at the top–left of the window (beside the font name).  These should all be self–explanatory and you can see their use in the different sections of this paper. If you have not used styles before, take a look at your manual or on–line help if you have any problems. Please do not change any of the style definitions!
When using styles you should not have to use the space bar, tab key, or return key to position your text. For example, space will automatically be left between paragraphs; using two returns can cause layout problems in the final document. You are encouraged to use hyphens to fit part–words into lines, but it is essential to use the “optional hyphen” (command–hyphen on a Macintosh), and not the standard hyphen. Leave only one space between sentences, or uneven spacing will result because the text is left– and right–justified.
There are three levels of headings. Use the first for the titles of large sections, the second for subsections, and the third for any further divisions. Capitalise the first letter of principle words in all headings.
Formatting and Non–Text Material
Authors are encouraged to think carefully about the layout of their papers. Do not try to crowd too much in: you will only put your readers off. As Jones (1967, p. 34) has written:
It is very important for the layout of a paper to reflect the author’s desire to make it as easy as possible for a reader to receive the ideas being put forward. The use of space, together with a variety of font sizes and types, are some of the most valuable tools an author may employ.
Quotations less than three lines long should be incorporated into the text using double quotation marks. For longer quotations, use the above style.
References should be given at the end of the document using the APA style (American Psychological Association, 1994), but with titles in italics, not under–lining. Examples for you to follow are given below.
An example of how to display and annotate a figure in your document is given in Figure 1. The previous sentence illustrates how all figures and tables should be referred to in the text. Use a capital letter for the words 'Table' and 'Figure' when making such a reference. 

Figure 1. Example of a Triangle
An example of a table is provided in Table 1. All figures and tables should be referred to in the text. Note that the main body of the table is in 10 point type.

Table 1				
Example of a Table				
	Male	Female	Total	
Under 30	20	30	50	
30–50	41	60	101	
over 50	3	19	22	
Total	64	109	173	
One format which is hard to define in a style is the author details on the first page. Use Normal style, but with centred text, and end each line with Shift–Return (or Shift–Enter) so you don’t have a paragraph break. For two authors, use the format given in this example paper. For more than two authors, develop a centred format which is in keeping with the spirit of this example.
Final Notes
Please use the spell checker before submitting your paper. Note the use of the long hyphen – (option + -) rather than - alone throughout this paper, and especially in the references.
