2. E-mail your Word or postscript abstract as an attachment to Norma. Put the assigned "preprint # __" on the subject line of the e-mail. E-mail a Word or postscript copy of your paper to Norma. Put the assigned "preprint # __" on the subject line of the e-mail. If you prefer not to put your paper on line give Norma a hard copy. Norma will keep backup hard copies in the reading room.
3. A week or so after the submission, you should check the web page to make sure that the abstract and paper are correctly listed and available for download.

If you have no math in your abstract, Word or plain text is preferred for the abstract,because it can be translated easily into HTML, which looks better and is faster for web downloading.

In order to update a paper with a revision, send the updated electronic copy to Norma with the title in the email "Update for preprint # __." If the title of the paper has been modified in revision, note this in the covering e-mail.
