"Introduction Internet Drafts and RFCs are predominantly written in embedded-text@ compile-based formatting systems [1][4][5]. The primary and first such system is NROFF@ a text-formatting utility based on manual entry of embedded configuration commands@ such as "".p"" for new paragraphs. XML is a more recent alternative that uses structure tags instead of explicit formatting commands to allow a single file (.xml) to be 'compiled' into ASCII output@ HTML@ or a variety of other formats as desired [7]. Although XML adds more modern semantic information to the structure tags@ neither system supports modern WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-whatyou- get) editing. Editors such as Microsoft Word and Corel WordPerfect provide not only WYSIWYG editing@ but also semantic tags as well as outline-mode capabilities. To that end@ a Word template called 2-Word.template.rtf was created that supports authoring RFCs@ as described in RFC 3285 [6]. That version succeeded in enabling Word-based RFC editing@ but did not support Word's outline mode renumbering capabilities. This document describes the properties and use of a revised Microsoft Word template (.dot) file that supports Internet Draft and RFC formatting@ intended as an update to that of RFC 3285. This version@ called 2-Word-v2.0.template.dot@ addresses a number of issues with the preliminary version: o redefines basic styles (Normal@ Heading1@ etc.) rather than creating new styles@ o updates the boilerplate according to BCP 78@ o uses more conventional methods for autonumbered references and figures@ including support for name-based references (e.g.@ ""[Tou2005]"")@ and o supports direct output to a printer from the .doc source@ as well as RFC-3285-style 'print to text' with post-processing on Windowsbased PCs. This document assumes familiarity with Microsoft Windows operating systems and the Word application."
