Memo File Formats
To facilitate ease of information access, it is preferable if you would
submit files in pdf or postscript
format. If necessary you may submit the
file in Word or WordPerfect format. Please remember to include the EVLA memo
number on the document.
* Note about PDF files:
Please generate the pdf files to be readable by Adobe’s Acrobat reader. Newer
versions of Microsoft Word or
WordPerfect provide an easy translation into PDF.
Memo Style
The EVLA memos are meant to be an informal means of communication. Their
internal structure or style is not regulated, however because of the wide
distribution of the memos, care should be taken to ensure their legibility and
coherence. The first page of the memo should clearly state the memo number,
title, author(s), and date of the memo, and a reference list should be included
where necessary.
