You selected the Word template appropriate for your publisher. Then, you followed the template wizard to provide basic information, so your new Word document already contains that information. Now, you are ready to write your paper.
To start entering text into the document, look for tag line indicators to guide you. For example, you may see a tag that says:
[Insert Introduction text here (no subheadings)]
You can select this tag and overwrite it as you type the introduction. Next, you may see:
[Insert Acknowledgements here]
Again, select the tag and overwrite it as you type your acknowledgements.
Most of the sections of the paper are tagged in this way. These tags may tell you of character limits, indicate whether you should include subheadings, and contain font and style formatting. They organize your manuscript and help you follow the rules of the publisher.
There are several instances where a section tag acts as a marker for Cite While You Write:
Figure Lists: When you insert a figure citation into your document, and the current output style is set to create a figure list at the end of the document, the figure list is created at a [Figures] tag. To change the position of the figures in your document, or to move the figure list to a separate file, see Placing Figures and Tables.
Table Lists: When you insert a figure citation where the image comes from EndNote’s "Chart or Table" reference type, and the current output style is set to create a table list at the end of the document, the table list is created at a [Tables] tag. To change the position of the tables in your document or to move the table list to a separate file, see Placing Figures and Tables.
Bibliographies: When you insert an in-text reference citation in the body of your document, the bibliography is created at the [References] tag.
The manuscript template applies a corresponding output style to the bibliography. For example, the Nature manuscript template would use the Nature output style to format the bibliography, although you can apply a different output style if you wish.
