Information Coordinators should follow the following procedures and guidelines when preparing their documents for submission to IFLANET.
IFLANET cannot accept files in desktop publishing formats (i.e. PageMaker, Ventura) or in other proprietary formats. Information Coordinators wishing to supply database information to IFLANET are requested to contact IFLANET Administration directly.
If graphics are embedded in a document, they should be made available as separate files. File formats should be GIF, JPEG or TIFF. Proprietary graphics formats such as Corel or Microsoft cannot be converted by IFLANET Administration.
If materials are to be compressed for transfer, please use common compression formats (PKZip or WINZip are preferred).
A simple way of providing structure information is to send a paper version, if available, along with the electronic text.

filename.txt filename.wp5 filename.doc filename.pdf filename.ps filename.eps filename.jpg filename.gif filename.tif |
Documents that require extended character set support (i.e., for accented characters) should not use US ASCII format, which does not provide extended character support. Instead, they should be coded in the ISO Latin 1 character set. Users are requested to contact IFLANET if they have any questions about this issue.
Because the display of non-Roman character sets can be problematic on the Web, materials written in non-Roman lettering should be submitted as camera-ready copy. They will be scanned and put up on IFLANET in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
Users are requested to send an email message to IFLANET Administration when files have been transferred.
