Sample Notes-typing Template Page -- Back to Checklist

Paste into an MS-Word document, then leave that file open on each computer so participants can read
these instructions and start right in on typing up their own proceedings.


Instructions for typing up proceedings from conversations

1. Sign up for a topic number on the clipboard on this room.

2. Read these short instructions, they tell you everything you need to know about this process.

3. Before you start, click FILE-SAVE AS

4. Type "TOPIC #__" (filling in YOUR topic number) where it says "TOPICNUM.doc" and type ENTER to finish saving a file for your notes.

5. In the template space at the bottom of these intructions (scroll down on this page), enter your topic number, topic name, your name, participants from your session, and proceedings notes

6. When it's all been entered, choose FILE-SAVE to save the page

7. Choose FILE-EXIT to exit word and mark your topic as DONE on the clipboard.

8. Watch for your proceedings to be posted on the news post, in the proceedings book, and eventually on the web, as fodder for the conversations we'll be able to continue online.

AND, PLEASE DO NOT...

...USE BOLD, ITALIC, DIFFERENT FONTS, FANCY COLUMNS AND TABLES, OR OTHER REALLY NIFTY STUFF THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IN MS-WORD ­ AT BEST IT WILL BE REMOVED, FOR READABILITY SAKE AND AT WORST, IT WILL GUM UP THE WHOLE PROCEEDINGS DOCUMENT.

SO, JUST THE FACTS, PLEASE...
