NOTE FOR WORD 2007 USERS

Although the Annual Reviews editing and typesetting programs are for use with Microsoft Word, the changes Microsoft has made to its recent Word release are incompatible with our templates tagging mechanisms used to layout and compose articles for both print and online publication. As a result, we cannot at present accept any files in the new .docx format produced through Microsoft Word 2007, either for initial submission or for revision.

Users of Word 2007 should convert their files to a format compatible with Word 2003 or Word for Macintosh 2004 before submitting to Annual Reviews.

However, because of problems with the back-conversion of equations from Word 2007 to Word 2003 (i.e., equations are rendered as uneditable graphics), the default equation editor included in Word 2007 cannot be used to create, edit, or update equations at any stage in manuscript creation or revision. To avoid these problems, MathType equation editor (or Word 2003 equation editor) should be used to create/edit all equations in files submitted to or provided by Annual Reviews.
