Download Instructions (PC/Mac)

Template download for PC

First, locate the Word template folder on your computer. The folder location can be determined by opening a Word document and selecting "Tools: Options" and then clicking on the File Locations tab. The template folder is often located in “C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates” but may have been relocated by your system administrator.

Then, click on the link below and save the file to your Word template folder using the "File...Save As" command. Change the filename extension from ".doc" to ".dot" before saving.

If the first method does not work, click on the link below with the right mouse button. Choose the option "Save Target As...", then use your Word template folder as the Save In location. Change the filename extension from ".doc" to ".dot" before saving.

Once the template is in your template folder, click once on the template (SynthesisSynlett.dot), and then click "File: New", which will display a list of all current articles which can be submitted to both journals.

Finally, select the article type and the template for this article type will open and a sample document is generated.
