            We recommend using document templates prepared in accordance with the required principles 
            recommendations in the Manual. Templates are available for the two most widely used word p

            LibreOffice (using the same format as OpenOffice) and MS Word (version 2003), in versions 
            sided and double-sided printing and with Libertine as the basic font (recommended; availab
            below), Times New Roman (a traditional MS Windows system font), or another serif font. For

            environmental reasons, we recommend printing written work double-sided.
