How To Write a IEEE Paper in LaTeX? Part-1

STEP-1:
After completing your existing and proposed work. Start writing in A4 papers in the order shown below
1) Proposed work.
2) Literature/ Existing work.
3) Introduction and finally
4) Abstract and Conclusion.

STEP-2:
Start writing it in Microsoft Word document. It is not necessary but it will be helpful to convert into LaTeX. If you are able to write directly in LaTeX you can skip this step. My suggestion is to write.

STEP-3:
Downloads: 
1) Microsoft Office Visio    %% To Draw Figures, Flowcharts etc

After drawing figures, remember lines should be "thick" and choose font as "Bold".

To save images from Visio, follow these steps
  a) Ctrr+A and Ctrl+g    %%selects all and cuts the images exactly. 
  b) Click on "Save as"
  c) A new window will open, scroll down "save as type" and choose "Portable network graphics (PNG)".
      Give any name and click on "save".
  d) A new window will open, in that choose Resolution as "Printer" and Size as "Screen".

2) Math Type                       %% For Equations

After writing equations in Math Type, we just need to copy and paste in LaTex. For that the Math Type should be genuine version.

After downloading Math Type Trial version, we can make it into genuine by following these steps
  a) Open Math Type and Click on Help ==> Choose Unlock/Register Math Type
  b) A new window will open, in that
        write First name: tam
                 Last name: CORE
                Organisation: type any
                Serial number: MTWE691-011044-5222g
                Email: type any
c) Click Apply/Ok

To paste equations into LaTeX,
Click on Preferences  ==> Cut and Copy Preferences
                                   ==> Choose MathML or Tex in that LaTeX 2.09 and later
                                   ==> Click OK

3) MiKTeX 2.9
 http://miktex.org/2.9/setup Download Basic Version  %% LaTeX

4) IEEE Templates for Conference/Journal  https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Under accessing the templates choose LaTeX.
We will get a zip folder which contains IEEE Templates.
