We currently use WinEDT and MiKTeX to allow users to edit latex files in windows. APS provides the revtex4 package for their authors.

authors.aps.org/revtex4

To get this package to work with MiKTeX, make the following directory structure under your localtexmf tree.

mkdir /tex/latex/revtex4/

Then run,

Start -> All Programs -> MiKTeX -> MiKTeX Options and click the “Refresh Now” button in the “File name database” section. That’s it.

The APS website above has a sample file that can be used to test things out.
