- Scientific-word template for conference transparencies.

It is sort of unbelievable that overhead projectors are still used in some economics conferences. Do not just print out powerpoint or beamer slides, which do not fit into transparencies well. I also find the official transparency templates provided by Mackichan very hard to use (too much line spacing). I wrote this template (download link) to save your energy.

Features:

• Very simple.
  
• Appropriate margins for standard overhead projectors (see this link for what is "standard").
• Usable for both presenters and discussants (just change the title).
  

• It is made for Scientific word users, and thus may not be compatible with direct LaTeX typesetting.
• Change the number in the "scalefont" box to adjust font size.
• Add page breaks when necessary.
