Math & Science ⇒ Caption above Scheme using achemso

[BoudewijnD]

I'm a new user of the great Latex system. I'm currently working on my first Article for the JOC journal by ACS.
For writing I use the achemso class package and the ACS template. But I have a problem with the caption positioning. Because in the Author guidelines is stated that the captions of the scheme's(a new float) must be placed above the scheme it self. However this is not automatically done by the class even when is state that I'm writing a joc article starting by the following code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[journal=joceah,manuscript=article]{achemso}

So i tried the common way to place captions above the scheme by using:

Code: Select all

\begin{scheme}
		\caption{Reagents and Conditions}
	\centering
		\includegraphics{Scheme/Schema1.eps}
	
	\label{Donor synthesis}
	\end{scheme}

But this also did not work. Can some body help me or should I not bother to much because after submitting the ACS will fix this like the will have to make two collumns of the article (and there by also resize the scheme's)

Cheers,

BoudewijnD

Could you point me to this requirement for JOC: I've not seen that one. Note that the ACS do not use your source for typesetting. That is why the layout does not look like the printed journal.

[josephwright]

Ah yes, I see this now. Update on the way to CTAN, or put the following in your preamble

Code: Select all

\floatstyle{plaintop}
\restylefloat{scheme}
\floatstyle{plain}

That is why the layout does not look like the printed journal.

Got that part just now. But this from the author guide:

2.5.5 Chemical Structure Graphics. Structures are chemical structural formula line drawings used in
schemes, equations, and structure blocks.
A scheme depicts, with multiple reaction arrows, a series of chemical transformations among several
structures. It may have vertical and diagonal as well as horizontal arrows, is identified with a sequential
Arabic boldface numeral, and may have a short descriptive title (for example, Scheme 2. Synthesis of
10). The scheme number and optional title are positioned above the scheme and should be typed at the
appropriate location in the manuscript text word-processor file, not in the graphics program used to create
the scheme.

I was just following the guide

Code: Select all

\floatstyle{plaintop}
\restylefloat{scheme}
\floatstyle{plain}

Thanx a lot I was starting to think it was me. And I also send a e-mail to ACS and they only stated they do not support the achemso.

Can you send me a mail or reply when there is an update to CTAN?

Super Thanx again!

And I also send a e-mail to ACS and they only stated they do not support the achemso.

This is down to each journal office. I write achemso for the ACS in general, but I rely on users to know where I go wrong! (There are over 30 journals, each with its own rules, and I only read a few of them regularly.)

but I rely on users to know where I go wrong!

I completely agree. I will wait for the update. When I find some thing I now know how to contact.
