Author: The instructions that follow apply to ALL tables and figures.
Please format all tables according to the following styles:
· No vertical lines
· Horizontal lines only (a) above and below the header row and (b) at the very bottom of the table.
· All columns should have a heading
· If the unit of measure is (or can be) identified in the first column, no need to repeat it across the row.
· If the unit of measure is (or can be) identified in the column heading, no need to repeat it in the table itself.
· Units of measure are placed in parentheses following the entry to which they apply. In column headings, they are not bolded.
· Parenthetical material in figure captions and table titles is not bolded.
· All columnar material is centered except for in the first column, in which the row identifiers are flush left.
· All hyphens should be changed to em dashes (—), and the significance of the em dashes should be explained in a footnote to the table (e.g., could be “not applicable,” “not available,” “no data,” etc.)
· Blank cells should be explained in a footnote (see bullet directly above)
Figures:
· Remove titles from the top of the figure when I’ve incorporated them into the figure caption.
· Always abbreviate kW with a small k and a large W (i.e., kW). Same for MWh (small h).
· Please use a font and font size that is easier to read and doesn’t appear “squished.”
Author: Figure- and table-specific changes are typed BELOW each figure or table. The comment feature is used for content questions and readability suggestions.

Author: In figure is “black” the correct word in System Black Start Capability? Seems like it should maybe be “block” (or something else)? If it is Black, should we explain, or will your intended reader understand?

Author: (1) Please spell out Estimated Peak Demand and Frequency Bias in column headings. (2) Unbold the parenthetical material in column headings. (3) Write the second column heading like this: (MW/0.1 Hz). (4) Use en dashes instead of hyphens for minus signs, table body. (5) Take the hyphen out of PacifiCorp East and West

Author: (1) It’s a bit difficult to differentiate between the lines in Figure 5-5. Suggest using lines with stronger contrast. (2) Please move MW to the left along the vertical axis so it doesn’t bump up against the letters. (3) Place commas in numbers along horizontal axis.

Author: In Figure 5-6, (1) Please write horizontal axis label like this: 10-Minute Interval over 24-Hour Period. (2) Place commas in numbers along vertical axis. (3) Use en dashes instead of hyphens for minus signs.
Figure 40:5-7. Short-term wind generation forecast errors as a function of average hourly production.
Author: (1) Please use headline-style capitalization for Standard Deviation in Decile and Average Hourly Production (MW). (2) Place periods like this: Std. Dev. (3) Place commas in numbers along horizontal axis.
