Help: Style file for Rapid Prototyping Journal

[Bernard Liu]

Hello all,

I am a new learner of LaTeX (MikTeX).
I am currently using MikTeX to write my thesis, and have also written
a paper for Rapid Prototyping Journal.
http://ariel.emeraldinsight.com/vl=4576088/cl=28/nw=1/rpsv/rpj.htm

I am having problems to format my draft for this journal, i am wondering if
anyone has a style file (template) for this journal?

I would also appreciate if someone can direct me to instructions to write
a LaTeX template from scratch.

Thank you!

Bernard

no-one's responded, so i guess the answer's "no". what does the
journal want you to provide (since they don't offer a class file, it's
unlikely that they would want latex source, but if they explicitly
exclude it, the only thing you can usefully generate is camera-ready
copy. would they like that?

this is definitely not something for the beginner to attempt.
however, there's some help to be had from

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=writecls

but unless you know a fair bit of other stuff it's not going to help
you much. :-(

The journal accepts several electronic file formats, including TeX/LaTeX.
However, i have asked them about style files, they don't provide it.
They accept camera-ready copies too, but i cannot generate the right format
if i don't have the right style file for it. :-(

thanks your for the infomation, i will try the link and see if i can manage
it ----
i really don't want to go back to WORD for this journal paper.

Thank you again!
