Quick guide to the DUO template

How to use the DUO template:

1. Download the template and save it to ‘M’ (your home directory) or another secure location. If you are using Internet Explorer, it might be difficult to open the file by clicking on the link. Right-click on the link, save the file, then open the file from the saved location.
    
2. Fill out the document properties information. This information will follow the file when converted to PDF and is important for internet search engines.
    
3. Start typing. Use the heading style hierarchy correctly; these styles are used to generate the table of contents. It is also possible to generate a list of figures automatically. To use this feature, use the figure style for figure titles in Figure Figure titles. Looking through the list of styles in the template before starting might be useful. The list is found in the full instructions.
