Author’s index

The export includes an Author’s index, which lists authors alphabetically by last name along with their associated submission number(s).

You can choose to include:

  • All authors

  • Presenters only

Authors index step of Generate booklet with the All authors and Presenters only options

Grouping

In the Format step, you can choose how to group submissions in the Word export. Grouping options include:

  • Do not group

  • Any Single select, Multi select or Dropdown field from your form (e.g. Presentation Type, Topic, etc.)

  • Sessions

  • Days

Sorting

You can also choose how to sort submissions within each group with Sort by. The booklet follows this order, not the order of the submissions table. Sorting options include:

  • Submission number

  • Submission title

  • Presentation time

  • Presenter last name

Format step of Generate booklet with Group by set to Sessions and Sort by set to Submission number

Customize the booklet styles in Word

The generated Word document uses predefined Word styles for the different parts of the booklet. This makes it easy to change the formatting of the entire document at once. For example, you can:

  • Make all presenters bold

  • Change the size of all submission titles

  • Change the font used for affiliations

  • Adjust paragraph spacing or line spacing

  • Change the formatting of section or group titles

Instead of editing each submission individually, simply modify the corresponding style in Word. All text using that style will update automatically throughout the document.

The following styles are used:

Content

Word style

Author list

Booklet authors

Affiliations

Booklet affiliations

Presenting authors

Non-presenting authors

Abstract text

Field labels

Field values

Group titles

For figures, the figure title uses Booklet field label and the figure description uses Booklet field value.

How to modify a style in Word

  1. Open the Styles panel in Word.

  2. Find the style you want to change, for example Booklet submission title.

  3. Right-click the style and select Modify.

  4. Change the font, size, bolding, spacing, or other formatting.

  5. Save the changes.

Every part of the booklet using that style will update automatically. This lets you quickly customize the appearance of the entire booklet without editing each submission individually.
