WORD DOC: All Papers (except Editorials)

The Word doc can be downloaded by clicking the “Download manuscript” button in the Aging PubMed Team Console.

Request MS from Alex and Christopher if one is unavailable.

Important

Open the Word doc with Microsoft Word (other word processors such as Google Docs and Apple Pages do not reliably render the correct font) and with the spelling and grammar checker enabled.

Word docs can be uploaded to the team Google Drive if necessary, but it would not be advisable to open them there as the font will be permanently corrupted if saved as a Google Doc, which could be done inadvertently due to Google’s auto-save feature.

We report these errors because the final PDF is directly generated from the Word doc. Still report these issues even if there is not an evident effect in the current PDF so as to avoid any potential future issues.
