RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 20101. Introduction Internet Drafts and RFCs are predominantly written in embedded-text, compile-based formatting systems [1][4][5]. The primary and first such system is NROFF, a text-formatting utility based on manual entry of embedded configuration commands, such as ".p" for new paragraphs. XML is a more recent alternative that uses structure tags instead of explicit formatting commands to allow a single file (.xml) to be 'compiled' into ASCII output, HTML, or a variety of other formats as desired [7]. Although XML adds more modern semantic information to the structure tags, neither system supports modern WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what- you-get) editing. Editors such as Microsoft Word and Corel WordPerfect provide not only WYSIWYG editing, but also semantic tags as well as outline-mode capabilities. To that end, a Word template called 2-Word.template.rtf was created that supports authoring RFCs, as described inRFC 3285 [6]. That version succeeded in enabling Word-based RFC editing, but did not support Word's outline mode renumbering capabilities. This document describes the properties and use of a revised Microsoft Word template (.dot) file that supports Internet Draft and RFC formatting, intended as an update to that ofRFC 3285. This version, called 2-Word-v2.0.template.dot, addresses a number of issues with the preliminary version: o redefines basic styles (Normal, Heading1, etc.) rather than creating new styles, o updates the boilerplate according toBCP 78, o uses more conventional methods for autonumbered references and figures, including support for name-based references (e.g., "[Tou2005]"), and o supports direct output to a printer from the .doc source, as well asRFC-3285-style 'print to text' with post-processing on Windows- based PCs. This document assumes familiarity with Microsoft Windows operating systems and the Word application.2. Use To use this template, double-click on it in Windows (it may work in MacOS and/or OpenOffice, but this has not been confirmed). The result should be a 'new' document.

RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 2010 within Word, e.g., via the File->Open menu; this will edit the template, rather than using the template to create a new template- based document.2.1. Setting up Your Version of Word to Edit RFCs Unfortunately, Word does not have a way to save some useful settings in a template. It may be useful to configure autoformatting to avoid using smart quotes or hyphens. However, this template is compatible with these features as its post-processor script translates such non- standard character codes into their RFC-compatible ASCII equivalents.2.2. Editing The template provides a number of styles for use (for details, seeAppendix A). Some are redefined internal styles and some are new, as follows. Throughout the document, avoid the use of bold, italics, or any other character formatting, as well as any graphics or paragraph or table borders. Smart hyphens and quotes need not be avoided and will be translated during post-processing. The current styles allow existing hyphens to break (wrap) across lines, but do not add hyphenation. To insert a non-breaking hyphen, type <CTL-_> (control-underscore); this is particularly useful in URLs, which are more readable if not line-wrapped. Note that it is critical NOT to use any styles other than those provided by this template. o Redefined internal styles for general use: Normal, Heading1-9, Caption, Header, Footer: Use in the normal fashion. Tabs can be used as desired. o New styles: RFC Title: For the document title only. RFC Figure: For ASCII-art figures. Single spaced, kept together. RFC List Bullet: For bulleted lists.Touch Informational [Page 4]
RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 2010 RFC List Numbered: For numbered lists. Use 'restart numbering' as desired for new list sequences. RFC References: For normative and informative references. Do not restart numbering for informative references. NOTE: references can use an alternate unnumbered style that relies on use of Word's bookmark feature to set cross-reference tags. RFC App: For appendix titles, using "Appendix A." format. Starts at the top of a new page. If appendices are used, start the references (after appendices) at the top of a new page (insert 'page break'). RFC App H1-5: For appendix headings ("A.1." format). NOTE: these headings will NOT auto-renumber when promoted/demoted in outline mode. o Redefined internal styles not generally accessed by users: TOC1-9: For table of contents entries. RFC Instructions: For instructions to authors. These notes must be deleted. RFC H1 - no num: For unnumbered headings in end boilerplate text. RFC H1 - no TOC no num: For unnumbered, unlisted (in TOC) headings in front boilerplate text.Touch Informational [Page 5]
RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 20102.3. Saving the File The template is provided as a Word 97-2003 ".dot" template; Word 2007 uses an XML-based variant called ".dotx". Word 2007 can use ".dot" templates in "Compatibility Mode". If the file is saved in that mode, it has a ".doc" suffix; if saved in native Word 2007 mode, it has a ".docx" format. It does not matter which saved file format is used.2.4. Generating Output This template supports printing similar output both to regular printers (8.5 x 11 inch paper) and as Internet-Draft/RFC-compatible text files. Printing to a printer is designed for Windows XP and Vista and may work with earlier versions of Windows; it has not been tested with other OS's. The template is currently in a Word 97-2003 format (.dot); this can be used in "Compatibility Mode" in Word 2007. Printing to text is supported only for Windows at this time. There is no current support for XML. Details are provided as follows.2.4.1. Printing Direct to a Printer The template produces output direct to a printer that is line-for- line, page-for-page identical with the text-only version, with a few minor exceptions: o Single and double quotes may be angled (left quote, right quote), rather than straight, depending on whether 'smart quotes' are enabled in Tools->Autocorrect options. o Hyphens may print as an em dash or en dash, depending on whether 'smart hyphens' are enabled in Tools->Autocorrect options.2.4.2. Printing the Text File Printing to an ASCII text file is currently known to work only on Windows-XP and Windows-Vista PCs; appropriate ASCII-output drivers for MacOS or Unix boxes running OpenOffice are not currently known. To generate .txt output on a Windows-XP or Windows Vista PC, use a two-step process. First, generate a .prn file by printing the document to a text-only printer. Second, apply post-processing to clean up the text and apply 'new page' characters.Touch Informational [Page 6]
RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 2010 Install the "Generic/Text Only" printer, as found under "Generic" in the available print drivers list. Configure the printer to save to a file or click 'save to file' when printing. A printed file will have a .prn file suffix. The printed output needs to be run through a post-processor to generate valid Internet-Draft or RFC formatted text. Run the .prn file through the post-processing as described inAppendix B. This performs the following operations: o Omits <CR>s (converts <CR><LF> to <LF> and omits bare <CR>s). o Converts smart quotes and hyphens to their ASCII counterparts. o Omits blank lines between the footer of one page and the header of the next, and inserts a <CTL-L> (form-feed) between the two. o Checks for remaining illegal characters (not printable ASCII, CR, LF), as required.2.4.3. XML Support There is no current support for XML in this template. Although Word 2003 provides XML support, its use is counterintuitive to most Word users. XML fields are edited using a separate database editor, rather than in the native Word input screen. Future support for XML is being considered for a future revision of this template.3. Changes fromRFC 3285 This document and the ".dot" template borrow heavily fromRFC 3285 [6]. Notably, all specifics of point sizes, tab locations, and the automatic date fields are directly from that template. This document builds on that information as follows.3.1. Heading Styles This document redefines Normal, Heading1-9, Header, Footer, and Caption, rather than defining new RFC-named styles as inRFC 3285. The use of internal style names is required for proper operation of outline mode, notably when promoting/demoting sections of text with subsequent renumbering of headings therein. Note that this use of redefined standard styles is the common practice, both in Microsoft-supplied templates as well as templates from the IEEE and ACM, among others.Touch Informational [Page 7]
RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 2010 Additional heading styles RFC App and RFC App H1-9 were added to support alternate numbering used in appendices, although these styles exhibit the previous deficiency of custom styles in outline mode (will not auto-renumber on promote/demote).3.2. References Style There are two different reference styles -- RFC References, and RFC References Bookmark. The former cross-references using numbers (e.g., [1]); the latter uses Word's bookmarking cross-reference features to support name/year cross-references (e.g., [Tou2005]). The latter is expected to be the preferred format for future I-Ds and RFCs. RFC References is a body text paragraph style that autonumbers based on the "[1]" format. Again, it is common practice, both among Microsoft-supplied templates as well as templates from the IEEE and ACM, to use autonumbered paragraphs in the body text for references. This differs fromRFC 3285, in which references were inserted as endnotes, rather than as main body text. Putting references in endnotes has unexpected behavior. In particular, the reference is defined by its first use as a citation and is cross-referenced by subsequent citations. Removing the first citation removes the reference entirely, despite other cross- references. This is not the case with body text autonumbered paragraphs, which persist regardless of which cross-references are deleted. Note that Word does not provide a way to ensure that all RFC Reference paragraphs are cross-referenced, i.e., users can insert references that are not cited. This can be desired, however, e.g., for bibliographies of supplemental material. RFC References Bookmark is a body text paragraph style that does not use autonumbering. Currently, authors are expected to manually format their references using name-based tags between square brackets ("[]"). There is no required format, but a suggested format would use the first three letters of the first author, together with the four numbers of the document year, e.g., for this document's reference "[2]", the reference would now appear as: [Bra2004] Bradner, S., "IETF Rights..."Touch Informational [Page 8]
RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 2010 The author is expected to select the text of the reference "[Bra2004]" and insert a bookmark at that point with whatever name is convenient for the author. It can then be cited as usual as a cross- reference to the bookmark: [Bra2004]. Note that Word bookmark names must start with a letter, and may include numbers but not spaces. When two references collide, e.g., for two papers written by Bradner in 2004, a trailing lowercase letter should be used to distinguish them, e.g., [Bra2004a] and [Bra2004b].3.3. Boilerplate The boilerplate in this template was updated to conform with current RFC Editor requirements, notablyBCP 78 rights statements, as well as pending guidelines for Internet Draft and RFC authors [2][3][5]. The boilerplate is written in regular text, and can be easily edited by authors to keep the template up-to-date asBCP 78 is revised.3.4. Simplification Headers and footers use more conventional tabbing to control formatting, rather than tables. Users no longer need to avoid the use of smart quotes or hyphens; these are automatically translated to RFC-compliant ASCII characters during post-processing. A number of styles include grouping configuration, designed to provide more readable output. In particular, all headings are "keep with next" to avoid widowed heading lines, and all list items, references, and figure lines are "keep together" to avoid inadvertent splitting across page boundaries.3.5. Ability to Direct Print and Direct View This template can print directly to a printer, generating output that is line-for-line, page-for-page identical with the compliant ASCII text output, excepting minor formatting of hyphens and quotes. Further, this template can be previewed in File->Print Preview or View->Print Layout, again generating screen images that are line- for-line, page-for-page identical with the compliant ASCII text output. This allows true WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editing and printing.Touch Informational [Page 9]
RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 20104. Compatibility Issues There are no known compatibility issues at this time. This version of the template was designed under Windows XP and Word 2002, and has also been tested under Windows Vista and Word 2007. It is not yet known whether previous versions of Windows/Word are supported using this template. As noted in Sec. 3.1, this template redefines predefined styles, which is common practice.5. Security Considerations There are many security issues in the general use of Microsoft operating systems and applications. This template is not known to expose any new security issues; it contains no macros as developed and deployed. The author considered including the MD5 signatures of the current versions of the .dot template and .pl post-processor files. The current processor .pl file is included in this document as an appendix. The .dot file is updated to track the current requirements of the IETF boilerplate, so its MD5 signature cannot be included here, but is posted on our website for verification.6. Acknowledgments The author acknowledges the substantial efforts of the authors of the previous version of the Word template, Mike Gahrns and Tony Hain [6]. This document is intended to build upon their work. Thanks also to Lars-Erik Jonsson for feedback on this template and post-processor script, as well as suggestions on making it more generic to support earlier versions of Windows, and to Jixiong Dong for finding an obscure bug in the formatting.

RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 2010Appendix A. Template Configuration Details The Word 97-2003 ".dot" template, compatible with Word 2007, consists of a set of default configuration settings, a set of modified and newly-defined styles, and an initial template of text. This section in particular assumes familiarity with Microsoft Word configuration and modification of styles. Note that use of the template does not require understanding this section; this merely documents the settings already in the ".dot" file.A.1. Configure Styles Modify paragraph styles as indicated. In general use, only the redefined existing styles Normal, Heading1-9, Header, Footer, and Caption, and new styles RFC Figure, RFC References, RFC List Bullet, RFC List Numbered, RFC App, and RFC App H1-5 need be used by authors. Other styles, such as redefined TOC1-9, RFC Hidden, RFC H1 - no num, and RFC H1 - no TOC no num are used by the template, but are typically hidden in the styles list, and need not be explicitly applied by authors. All measurement units below are in points. Change measurement units to points to set.A.1.1. Redefine Existing Styles Redefine the Normal style first; all others are based on Normal, except as noted. 1. Normal: font Courier New, font size 12 point, next style Normal, line spacing EXACTLY 12 point, spacing before 0 pt, spacing after 12 pt, indent left 21.6 pts, widow/orphan control, left tabs at every 3 spaces (1 space = 7.2 points, given 72 points/inch and 10 characters/inch): 21.6, 43.2, 64.8, 86.4, 108, 129.6, 151.2,172.8, 194.4, 216, 237.6, 259.2, 280.8, 302.4, 324, 345.6,367.2, 388.8, 410.4, 432, 453.6, 475.2, 496.8. NOTE: 12 point fonts are 12 points tall, i.e., 6 lines/inch vertically; 12-point Courier is 10 characters/inch horizontally. 2. Heading 1-9: Normal + indent left 0 pt, hanging 21.6 pts, keep with next, set autonumbering as "1. ", "1.1. ", "1.1.1. ", etc. Note the space after the right-most period; type this in the "number format" field, and leave the "follow number with" field as 'nothing' (click on the 'more' button to see this field if it is not already visible).Touch Informational [Page 11]
RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 2010 NOTE: change the autonumbering ONCE and in ONE format; in that format, change all subsequent levels. 3. TOC 1-9: Normal + paragraph flush, clear tabs, add new Right tab at 504 pts that includes a "..." leader. Add indent left as follows: TOC 1: 21.6, TOC 2: 43.2, TOC 3: 64.8, TOC 4: 86.4, TOC 5: 108, TOC 6: 129.6, TOC 7: 151.2, TOC 8: 172.8, TOC 9: 194.4. 4. Header: Normal + space after 0 pts, next style Header, clear tabs, and add centered tab at 252 pts, tab right at 504 pts. 5. Footer: Header + next style Footer. 6. Caption: Normal + centered, autonumbered "Figure #".A.1.2. Add New Styles NOTE: "keep lines together" is optional for lists and references; it helps avoid breaking individual items across pages. 1. RFC Figure: Normal + space after 0 pts, keep with next, keep lines together, next style RFC figure (also used for authors' addresses). 2. RFC List Bullet: Normal + custom bulleted, "o" bullet style, aligned at 21.6 pts, bullet tab after 43.2 pts, bullet indent at 43.2 pts, next style RFC List Bullet, keep lines together. 3. RFC List Numbered: Normal + custom numbered, "1. " number format, aligned at 21.6 pts, bullet tab after 43.2 pts, bullet indent at 43.2 pts, next style RFC List Numbered, keep lines together. 4. RFC References: Normal + hanging 43.2 pts, outline level body text, remove tabs at 21.6 and 43.2 pts, custom numbering with format "[1]", numbering left aligned 21.6 pts, number tab space after at 64.8 pts, number text indent at 64.8 pts, next style RFC References, keep lines together (used for both normative and informative references). 5. RFC References Bookmark: Normal + hanging 72 pts, no num, remove tabs less than 72 pts, keep lines together (used for both normative and informative references). 6. RFC Title: Normal + space after 24 pts, centered (used for document title).Touch Informational [Page 12]
RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 2010 7. RFC App: RFC H1 - no num + page break before, custom outline numbered, outline number style "Appendix A.", outline level 1, follow number with nothing, outline number at 0 pts, outline indent text at 0 pts, (used for Appendix titles). 8. RFC App H1-5: RFC H1 - no num + paragraph level 2-6, custom outline numbered, outline number style "A.1." - "A.1.1.1.1.1.", follow number with nothing, outline number at 0 pts, outline indent text at 0 pts, (link with RFC App at level 2-6), (used for Appendix heading levels).A.1.3. Hidden Styles These are used for pre-formatted components or instructions and are configured to be hidden from the list of available styles. 1. RFC H1 - no num: Normal + indent left 0 pts, outline Level 1, keep with next (used for base template trailer headers -- Copyright, etc.). 2. RFC H1 - no TOC nonum: Normal + indent left 0 pts, (outline level body text, as with Normal), keep with next (used for base template front matter headers -- Abstract, Status, TOC header, etc.). 3. RFC Instructions: Normal, character bold. This style is not normally shown and is used for instructions that should be removed before publication.A.2. Define Page Layout Configure Page Setup as follows: 1. Margins: Portrait orientation. Top: 72 pts Bottom: 60 pts (72 + 60 +_660 [55 lines] = 792 [11 in]) Left: 36 pts (5 characters at 7.2 pts/char) Right: 57.6 pts (8.5"-7.2" = 1.3in = 93.6 pts - 36 for left) Gutter: 0 pts Header: 0 pts Footer: 0 pts If the error message "One or more margins are outside the printable area" appears, select Ignore. This may depend on the printer currently selected.Touch Informational [Page 13]
RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 2010 2. Paper size: Paper size "letter". Width: 612 pts Height: 792 pts (55 lines/page + 132 for top and bottom margins) 3. Layout: Different headers and footers on the first page. Header: 72 pts from edge Footer: 60 pts from edgeA.3. Insert Boilerplate See below for definitions of {ACDt}, {ACDy}, {AEM}, {AEY}, {AP}. First page header: {blank line} {blank line} <Working Group Name>{tab}<Initial. Lastname> Internet Draft{tab}<Affiliation> Intended status: <e.g., Informational>{tab}{ACDy} Expires: {AEM}{AEY} {blank line} {blank line} Footer (same on first and subsequent pages): {blank line} {blank line} {blank line} <Lastname>{tab}Expires: {AEM} {ACDy}, {AEY}{tab}[Page {AP}] {blank line} The front text and end text are as specified inBCP 78 [2]. For Internet Drafts, the sentence declaring the expiration dates uses automatic fields as needed, as with the headers and footers. Note that some of these fields will not be updated properly until the document has been saved and/or printed. A basic document outline with examples is provided in the Word template to demonstrate the use of automatic fields, including a table of contents.Touch Informational [Page 14]
RFC 5385 Version 2.0 Microsoft Word Template February 2010A.4. Automatic Fields Most of these are self-explanatory; the expiry month is set 6 months in advance. The expiry year rolls-over (+1), if needed. The expiry day is a copy of the current date. NOTE: expiry date can generate invalid dates, e.g., April 31, February 30, etc. o {AEM} means auto expiry month, and is a field code = { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 1 July { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 2 August { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 3 September { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 4 October { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 5 November { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 6 December { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 7 January { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 8 February { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 9 March { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 10 April { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 11 May { IF { SAVEDATE \@ "M" \* MERGEFORMAT } = 12 June "Fail" *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } *\ MERGEFORMAT } o {ACDt} means auto current date, and is a field code = { SAVEDATE \@ "MMMM d, yyyy" } o {ACDy} means auto current day, and is a field code = { SAVEDATE \@ "d " }Touch Informational [Page 15]
