Interested in Contributing a Paper to the Napoleon Series? We have developed a writing and style guide! This guide was developed based on eleven years of editing over 4,000 papers that have been submitted to the Series. Although most papers follow the guide in spirit, almost all have minor problems. This in itself may not appear to be a major issue, however we publish over 1,000 new items a year. We spend hundreds of hours every year formatting these papers to ensure that all contributions published by the Napoleon Series will have a uniform look. Much of the guide is common sense and if followed by the author, will reduce the amount of time needed to edit a paper. For example, html can not handle Tabs or columns. If the author uses either in his paper, all must be removed. So the guide tells the writer what to use instead of Tabs and columns. All papers must follow these guidelines, unless given prior approval by the editor. Those papers that do not follow these guidelines will be sent back to the author for revision. This guide is not intended to limit the content of any A copy of the guide can be found at: Napoleon Series Format and Style Guide Enjoy!! Robert Burnham
