1 INTRODUCTION
ACM's new manuscript submission template aims to provide consistent styles for use across ACM publications, and
incorporates accessibility and metadata-extraction functionality necessary for future Digital Library endeavors.
** Place the footnote text for the author (if applicable) here.
Numerous ACM and SIG-specific templates have been examined, and their unique features incorporated into this
single new template. If you are new to publishing with ACM, this document is a valuable guide to the process of
preparing your work for publication. If you have published with ACM before, this document provides insight and
instruction into the current process for preparing` your manuscript.
This submission template allows authors to submit their papers for review to an ACM Conference or Journal
without any output design specifications incorporated at this point in the process. The ACM “Submission Template” is
a single column MS-Word document that allows authors to type their content into the pre-existing set of paragraph
formatting styles applied to the sample placeholder text here, or copy-and-paste their text and then apply the
respective paragraph styles (Windows: you can open the Styles task pane from the Home tab [it can also be opened
with the keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S]; MAC16: you can access the Styles pane at the right of the Home
toolbar.) Highlight a section that you want to designate with a certain style, and then select the appropriate style from
the list. To view which style is being used in any part of this document, place your cursor on your text and look at the
“Current style” field in the Styles pane.
It is beneficial to create your document in draft mode with the style panel open in the left-side panel. If the panel is
not immediately visible when the Submission Template is opened, you will need to open the panel manually—for
Windows: click on the following from the main ribbon above: File > Options > Advanced > Display > Style area pane
width in Draft and Outline views. Set the style area width (1–1.5" is a good starting value.); for MAC: go to the “ View”
menu and select “Draft”; then go to the “Word” menu and select “Preferences” and then “View,” under the
“Window” section insert “1.5” inches under the style area width.
All style elements are specified in this template to facilitate the production of your paper and to have the styles
consistent throughout. The paragraph styles are built-in and examples of the styles are provided throughout this
document. Save as you go and backup your work regularly!
1.1 Accessibility
Following the guidelines throughout this template will also improve the accessibility of your manuscript and increase
the audience for your work. Ensure that heading styles are applied as instructed, tables are created using Word’s table
feature (rather than an image), figures have a text equivalent, and list styles are applied as instructed.
To increase the accessibility of your manuscript, you should set the title and language metadata. On Word for
Windows, open the File tab and click on Info. On Word for Mac, click the File Menu and select Properties, then click
the Summary tab. Fill in the title of your document. For anonymous review, clear the ‘author’ field.
To set the document language, click the Review tab in the Ribbon. On Word for Windows: Click the Language
button and select “Set Proofing Language.” Verify the language is set correctly. On Word for Mac: Click the Language
button and select the document language from the pop-up.

paper will be processed to produce the formatted Word, PDF, and HTML5 output formats, which will be provided to
you for review, revision/resubmission (if applicable), and approval.
2.1 Tables
Tables are “float elements” which should be inserted after their first text reference and have specific styles for
identification. Do not use images to present tables, or they will be inaccessible to readers using assistive technologies.
Authors can insert tables by using the MS Word option (INSERT ->Table) and providing the required row and
column size. Every table must have a caption (title) above it, which must have the “TableCaption” style applied.
Please note that tables should not be supplied as image files, but if they are images they must have the “Image” style
applied. As an example, Table 1 shows all the styles available in this template, to be applied to the respective element
of your text.

This is example of table footnote.
Tables can be very difficult for people using screen reader technology to understand unless they include markup
that explicitly defines the relationships between all the parts (i.e.: headers and data cells). A key to making data tables
accessible to screen reader users is to clearly identify column and row headers. In Word, authors should identify which
row or rows contain column headers. Below are the steps to do this:
1. Select that table’s row, then right-click the row and select “Table Properties”;
2. In the Table Properties window, click the Row tab and select the box that says “Repeat as header row at the top of
each page.”
Or
Apply the “table head” style by highlighting the respective row and applying the “TableHead” style found in the
“Body Element” section of the ACM Primary Article Template.
2.2 Figures
Figures are “float elements” which should be inserted after their first text reference, and have specific styles for
identification. Insert a figure and apply the “Image” paragraph style to it. For the figure caption, apply the style
“FigureCaption.”
To accommodate readers with color vision differences, figures should still be usable when printed in grayscale.
Refer to elements of the figure with non-color terms, for example “indicated as squares” instead of “indicated in blue”.
Use different patterns in bar charts, different line patterns in graphs, and different shapes in plots to distinguish groups
of elements and reinforce color differences.

If the author wants to insert two multi-part images, they must draw a one row and one column table and insert
the images one-by-one in the cells.
If the author wants to insert three multi-part images, they must draw a one-row and three-column table and
insert the images one by one in all three cells.
If the author wants to insert four multi-part images, they must draw a two-row and two-column table and insert
the images one-by-one in all four cells. (see the following example):

Figure 3: The layout of multipart images should be as per the above example within the table. All images must have the “Image”
style applied.
Below are the steps to insert figure descriptions in MS Word 2013 and 2016:
Below are steps to insert the alt-txt value in MS Word 2010/2011 for Windows*:
7
1. Insert a picture in the document.
2. Right click on the inserted picture and select the Format Picture option.
3. Select the Alt Txt option from the left-side panel options.
4. In the “Title” and “Description” text boxes, type the text you want to represent the picture, and then click
“Close.”
* The Mac 2011 version 14.0.0 and later allows the option for inserting “alt-text.” In the MAC version of Word
2016, right-click on the image and select “Edit Alt Text” from the pop-up menu and then enter the description
for the alt text.
“Microsoft tried to revive the idea of an assistant with Clippy, who began popping up in Microsoft Office in
1997. Its creator, Kevan Atteberry, was actually contracted by Microsoft to design Clippy, which, funnily
enough, he did on a Mac … Sure, people could disable Clippy, but the fact he was on by default angered
people.” [10]
2.4 Equations
There are two types of math equations: the numbered display math equation and the un-numbered display math
equation. Below are examples of both.
2.4.1 DisplayFormula.
The DisplayFormula style is applied in the numbered math equation. A numbered display equation always has an
equation number (label) on the right.
x=−b ± √ b2−4 ac
2a
Please note: the subsequent text after the DisplayFormula (numbered equation) or DisplayFormulaUnnum
(unnumbered equation) must have the paragraph style ParaContinue applied.
8
Theorem/Proof/Lemma. Math statements should have the “Statement” style applied. This paragraph is an example
of the “Statement” style.
2.6 Algorithms
Algorithms use the styles “AlgorithmCaption” and “Algorithm”.
3 COMPUTER CODE
Display Computer codes can be inserted using “ComputerCode” style.

As you build your article, you should note where you will be placing citations. If you are using numbered citations
and references, the reference number - "...as shown in [5]..." is sufficient. If you are using the "author year" style, a
reasonable placeholder is the primary author's last name and the year of publication - "...as shown in [Harel 1978]..." -
we will be updating this placeholder later in the process with the citation label as generated by the Word macros in the
"primary template.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Acknowledgments are placed before the references. Add information about grants, awards, or other types of funding
that you have received to support your research. Author can capture the grant sponsor information, by selecting
the grant sponsor text and apply style ‘GrantSponsor’. After this, select grant no and apply ‘GrantNumber’ from style
panel. Example of Grant sponsor: Competitive Research Programme and example of Grant no: CRP 10-2012-03.
