entire chapters or appendixes. The preparing activity issues a new electronic file that
incorporates all changes and retains the date of publication prior to the changes.
2-5.1.1
Marking Text
2-5.1.1.1 Preparing Activity. The preparing activity lists each change on the title page
under the record of changes, and marks the start of changed text with the number of the
change enclosed with right slant virgule symbols (\X\) and the end of changed text with
left slant virgule symbols (/X/) in bold type. Respectively, the letter "X" represents the
number of the change (see Figure 2-2). These change markings are not used for
complete chapter replacements; instead, complete chapter replacements must have the
change number and date identified at the top of the first page of the chapter (see Figure
2-3).
2-5.1.1.2 Other Proponents. On multiple-proponent UFC, proponents other than the
preparing activity mark text changes with the letter "X" enclosed with virgule symbols at
the start and end of changed text. Proponents other than the preparing activity will not
assign change numbers or record changes on title pages. As part of creating the new
electronic file, the preparing activity will replace the letter "X" with the appropriate
change number and update the title page accordingly.
2-5.2
Revisions. Accomplish a complete revision when more than 40 percent of a
UFC contains changes. The preparing activity issues a new electronic file, incorporating
all changes. Previously recorded changes are removed from the title page, and all
change markings are deleted from text. The revision will bear the new publication date
according to paragraph 1-6.
2-6
ASSIGNING PUBLICATION NUMBERS. The technical working group that
prepares the UFC will recommend the most appropriate numerical series based on
Appendix B (e.g., UFC 4-010-XX). The preparing activity will forward the
recommendation to will.rinaman@tyndall.af.mil for assignment of the last two digits
based on a master index.
ELECTRONIC FORMAT AND MEDIA. Use MS Word or an equivalent
2-7
software application that can easily and accurately convert UFC source files to Adobe
PDF. Drafts and final manuscripts must incorporate figures and tables in proper
position within the electronic source files so that UFC printed from the files will
accurately represent the UFC viewed electronically. Upon approval of the UFC, the
preparing activity provides the electronic files (MS Word and PDF) to the other service
offices (refer to the Foreword) by e-mail or file transfer protocol (FTP), or on 3-inch
disk, zip disk, or compact disc. The preparing activity must ensure that NIBS gets the
PDF file for publication on the CCB. Additionally, the services may request that the
preparing activity bookmark the Adobe PDF file to allow prompt navigation through the
UFC.
2-8
INDEX OF UFC. Upon approval of a UFC, each service will update its own
master list of UFC.
