Hi All,
I need to submit a conference paper in about 6 weeks so I'm making a start on it now as it's my first one. There's a 2 page MS Word style guidelines for authors on the conference website - this details margins size, font, etc. Just after it talks about the margins and columns, there is a line that says "text must fit exactly into the typed area".
Now, I know it's impossible for any of you to give me a definitive answer, not having the document on front of you. But if anyone has an idea if this comment refers purely to sticking with the prescribed formatting or if it means that the paper is limited to two pages in length (as that's the length of the guidelines which is basically a paper in the prescribed formatting about formatting. if you know what I mean ...).

Cheers Dan - that's what I was assuming too - I just wanted to check as the paper is published exactly as submitted - I didn't want it to be rejected purely on the basis of its length.
Seeing as there are no specifics given on the length of the paper and also nobody has been told how long they have to speak ( simply a list of speakers one after the other so we know which day we are on, morning or evening and the order of the speakers), I am assuming 15-20mins and aiming for a paper 8-10 pages long. Does anyone know if that sounds about right?
