JASA Express Letters Template

[Jont Allen <jont1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Phil,

Yes I have one. And I was working with JASA team to try solve this problem. I have submitted several (2)
MS to JASA using this format, and they have gotten by the screening process.

To save me time, can I send you the Latex MS that we submitted, so I dont need to turn it into a template?
I think I have a template, and if so, I can send that. I'll need to look.

Here is an overview of what I did to solve this problem:
1) dont use the JASA template, its broken. You must use

 \documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{natbib} %jasa style references; works with subfigure             <-- Likely required to work
\bibliographystyle{apalike} %slight difference with some refs                    <-- maybe not necessary

\usepackage{setspace}
%\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}                       <-- for no line spacing
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.2}                       <-- change to for submission

%JASA Headers                                                              <-- essential for JASA

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\alph{footnote})} %Not sure this is necessary

% A few lines are necessary to convert the headers from numerical to alpha. These lines are
%This IS essential:

\renewcommand{\section}[1]{\addtocounter{section}{1}
     \textbf{\Roman{section}. \ #1}\setcounter{subsection}{0}
    \setlength{\parindent}{5ex} %\vspace{3mm}
        }

\renewcommand{\subsection}[1]{\addtocounter{subsection}{1}
    \textbf{\Alph{subsection}. \ #1} \setcounter{subsubsection}{0}
    \setlength{\parindent}{5ex} %\vspace{2mm}
        }

\renewcommand{\subsubsection}[1]{\addtocounter{subsubsection}{1}
    \textbf{\arabic{subsubsection}. \ #1}
        }

% JASA Headers END

Hi All,

Does anyone have a (link to) a word template for JASA Express Letters? Or, failing that, a latex style sheet.

Thanks in advance.
