Download the template in the docx format.
Check out how it looks after running a minimal example through bookdown/pandoc.
Send feedback as issue in the template repository, one problem, one issue at a time. (First read if somebody reported the same problem earlier!) Faster, task immediately assigned to a person.
Alternatively, get in touch with the Synyo team on Keybase (task is not immediately assigned.)

We learned in WP3 that using different spreadsheet applications on Word, Mac, Linux (Excel, Google, Libre) can have disastrous interoperability and many hours of manual revision of lost Eastern European characters or non-printing symbols.
Simplification is key to working across organizations using different operational systems and workflows.
The current preliminary delivery template is too Word-specific and complex.

We must comply with the Open Policy Analysis Guidelines and FAIR. Both require interoperability and reusability of our files.
Furthermore, the EU FAIR requires findability and accessibility, so we must dissemintate our files on open repositories. You need to work in an interoperable format, or in a simple Word template that can be converted back to a simpler format.

Upload a Word file to Google Docs.
Use the free Docs to Markdown and convert it to a simpler, interoperable, universal formatting.
The smallest common denominator is markdown for simple files, and perhaps tex for scientific publications. Do not use Word formatting that is not present in markdown.
Check if the resulting markdown is easily readable in any text editor. Send this .md file through pandoc, knitr, or any reproducible application. If it breaks, it is not simple enough.

The template can be used preliminary for conferences or internal presentations, but it cannot be disseminated in this form.
The current preliminary delivery template is too Powerpoint-specific after two revisions. We hopefully have no Microsoft only fonts any longer, but there are further refinements needed.
It could be improved to work on different screens (the margins, even after two refinements, are still too tight.) Just click through the next slides on your laptop and tablet/or phone.
