Unpublished Not at Same Conference	R. Auchettl, R. T. Dowd, and Y. E. Tan, “Beam Dynamics, Injection and Impedance Studies for the Proposed Single Pulsed Nonlinear Injection Kicker at the Australian Synchrotron”, presented at the 10th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf.

Copy and Paste Word Citation

Once the citations have been pasted into a Word document you must reorder them to match the order they are cited in you paper, and replace the 'n' with the correct reference number. Further more you can correct the style to suit 1 of 3 JACoW_Reference styles.

1. JACoW_Reference when <= 9 Refs
2. JACoW_Reference #1-9 when >= 10 Refs
3. JACoW_Reference #10 onwards

This ensures references are indented correctly in the reference list.
