Rich Field contributed a SAND Memo class that was originally written by people in 1520. There is an example LaTeX file and a template that you can fill in (see download section). This page briefly shows the usage of the Sandia memo class.

Obviously, you will need to include the class in your document:

\documentclass[12pt]{smemo}

Optional Preamble Commands

You can select PostScript fonts by doing

\usepackage{sfonts}

Depending on your LaTeX installation, you may have to edit the file sfonts.sty to tell it the names of the fonts.

If your memo is OUO, you should edit and include the file MarkMemoOUO.tex

\input{MarkMemoOUO}

Text Body Commands

The following commands are mandatory and belong inside \begin{document} and \end{document}.

\begin{memo}

This starts the memo. You need to specify a date, from, to, and a subject.

\date{}

Empty, as shown, inserts today's date, or you can set it specifically.

\to{}

Either Distribution or a specific person with Org. and MS.

\from{}

Name, Org. mail stop.

\subject{}

The subject of your memo.

Now you type your memo. At the end you have some options:

Document Closure

The following three commands are optional:

\initials{}

\enc{}

\keywords{}

Distributions can be done like this. See the example file for details.

\begin{distribution}{External Distribution:}

\end{distribution}{External Distribution:}

Don't forget to close with

\end{memo}
