Hi Lee - I've closed this question since it isn't really a bioinformatics question. If you want to pose it in terms of specific relevance to bioinformatics, I'm happy to re-open it.

An easy edit? "...for submitting bioinformatics publications." Perhaps also edit the title: MS Word template for bioinformatics? Certainly documenting one's bioinformatic work effectively using effective tools used the world over is a topic relevant to bioinformatics. The question exists, with an answer. I don't see the point of closing it so that no one else can contribute to a relevant topic.

I'll try out that edit Seidel and see how well it fits. I'd love to get a larger community feedback on this question. Thanks for the suggestion.

That makes only limited sense, you should always use the template provided by the journal or publisher and these are quite different as are the requirements for the layout. Most journals should have some instructions for authors section.
