CEO Update to Shareholders - Notes

This page contains some further explanation of the formatting of the CEO Update template.

Formatting

The table width is only 550 pixels. This is designed to allow the report to fit in a standard width web page along with a right hand nav bar. It is also a good width to allow printing from an HTML e-mail client.

Date Format

The date format is the universal standard: 20060115 to facilitate a standard file naming convention and allow Windows to properly sort the file.

Filename

To keep your investors happy, please use the standard file naming convention:

Company_CEO_Update_To_Shareholders_20060115.htm

The company name above should be one word in most cases. If that is not self explanatory, use two. The underscores are important because lots of web servers use Linux or Unix.
